Calcium stearate undergoes a partial melting to a mesomorphic state at about 100 °C, as shown by discontinuities in the density–temperature relation and in differential cooling measurements, and by the onset of plasticity. No surface activity is exhibited by the soap in mineral oil, even in the mesomorphic state. Calcium stearate dispersions in a non-polar mineral oil are essentially lyophobic up to 180 °C, whereas the soap is dispersed to a sol in more polar oils at a temperature slightly above the partial melting point.The viscosity of these dispersions, measured over a range of temperatures in a variable-pressure efflux viscosimeter shows unusual characteristics. A maximum viscosity at intermediate temperatures was found, accompanied by a high degree of dilatancy. The presence of water is shown to lower the viscosity and destroy dilatancy by agglomeration of the dispersed soap.

Abstract The paper deals with AB block-copolymers poly(oxyethylene)-blockpoly( dicyclohexyl itaconate) (POE/PDCHI) containing 2000 and 5000 g/mol of the flexible POE. The study aims at revealing the thermal effect on the copolymer morphology in the 20 - 200°C range. Optical microscopy investigations were performed. The results confirm our previous X-ray studies. A liquid crystalline state is observed in the 90 - 180°C range. It is characterized by birefringence and is determined by the chair-chair conformation, a dominating structure of the cyclohexyl rings. A condis-crystal state is observed at cooling in the interval 90°C to room temperature. It is characterised by a variety of cyclohexyl conformations and, therefore, by a lack of birefringence. The PEO component in the copolymer starts crystallising into small local spherulites at about room temperature. The results obtained allow the conclusion that the presence of PDCHI is a determining factor for the mesomorphic state of the copolymers discussed.
