抄録

The helical twisting power in cholesteric liquid crystal mixtures is investigated by means of the continuum theory. The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental results. These results show that (a) the variation of the helical twisting power with the composition of binary cholesteric mixtures can be explained by considering the difference between the elastic constants of two components and that (b) the variation of the helical twisting power with the composition of nematic-cholesteric mixtures can be explained by the extended continuum theory with the induced helical twisting power of nematic molecules.
