Shear viscosity of nematic liquid crystals in the vicinity of the smectic-A phase in alkyloxycyanobiphenyl mixtures

The paper presents a singular temperature behavior of the shear viscosity measured for freely flowing nematic liquid crystals in vicinity to smectic-A phase in n-octyloxycyanobiphenyl and n-hexyloxycyanobiphenyl mixtures--a system exhibiting the reentrant nematic phase.
