Abstract
The kinetics of cholesteric phase growth during the phase separation of an isotropic liquid crystalline mixture was studied by polarizing optical microscopy within the framework of the thermodynamics of irreversible processes. The rules governing time-dependent changes in the parameters of the statistical droplet size distribution of the cholesteric phase were determined. The influence of the thickness of the liquid crystalline mixture layer on the size of the droplets formed was studied.
