Abstract
The kinetics of nematic phase droplet growth as an isotropic melt of mesogenic siloxane-azomethine polyether was cooled was studied by polarizing microscopy. The results were processed statistically and described using the thermodynamics of irreversible processes. An analysis of the time dependences of statistical distribution parameters revealed the occurrence of two regimes of phase separation, (1) the formation of droplets and their growth and (2) coalescence of droplets. Both regimes were quantitatively described by the universal law of the growth of clusters.
