Study Notes
Mesophase Overview
- Mesophase is an intermediate state of matter, positioned between solid and liquid states.
- Characterized by an elongated and rectilinear structure while maintaining rigidity.
- Exhibits strong dipole characteristics, making it easily polarizable.
- Primarily consists of organic compounds.
Types of Mesophase
- The two primary types of mesophase are liquid crystalline and supercritical fluid.
Liquid Crystalline
- Represents a middle phase between solid and liquid, possessing the ability to flow while maintaining structural order.
- Capable of birefringence, which is the double refraction of light observed in transparent materials that have molecular order.
Supercritical Fluid
- Occurs at specific pressure and temperature ranges where liquid and vapor phases merge, resulting in zero surface tension.
- Exhibits high density that can be adjusted through pressure manipulation.
- Known for its ability to permeate solid substances effectively.
- Can dissolve a variety of organic compounds, including pharmaceuticals, essential oils, polymers, and lubricants.
- Common applications include hops extraction and the decaffeination process for coffee and tea.
