Abstract

Thermal conductivity measurements have been performed in nematic and smectic liquid crystalline phases by the forced Rayleigh light-scattering technique. Results show clearly that the thermal transport anisotropy is governed by the molecular shape anisotropy and by the molecular orientation but is independent of the smectic layer ordering.
