摘要：

Freedericksz measurements were performed on mixtures of a nematic mesogen and a V-shaped molecule. The bend elastic constant was found to decrease significantly with increasing concentration of the V-shaped molecule. The results are discussed theoretically, taking into account the detailed structure of the molecules.
