| Abstract | The results of Monte Carlo simulations performed for model systems of rodlike molecules are compared with those of the same rodlike molecules with semiflexible end groups and/or with side groups. The presence of side groups perturbs the packing of the rigid cores and lowers the nematic/isotropic transition temperature. This effect is higher when the side groups are more exposed. |
