← ScienceWhich consequence results when excessively high thermal agitation interferes with molecular self-assembly for liquid crystals?
A)Reduced switching times occur
B)Increased dielectric constant results
C)Nematic ordering degrades sharply✓
D)Blue phase transforms mesophase quickly
💡 Explanation
If thermal agitation exceeds the director alignment forces, diminished nematic ordering occurs because disorder overrides the **Van der Waals interaction.** Therefore, nematic ordering degrades rather than maintaining alignment, due to lowered switching times under different conditions.
