摘要：

High-resolution surface tension measurements have been conducted on free-standing films of a specially selected series of liquid-crystal compounds. We have discovered a dramatic change in the surface tension of liquid-crystal compounds by replacing a single fluorine atom in the molecular tail with a hydrogen atom. The implication of this finding will be discussed. [S0031-9007(97)05062-X].
