Phase transition studies of the liquid crystal, 4‐[4‐n‐pentyloxybenzylidene–amino]–azobenzene (PBAAB) have been investigated by thermal microscopy and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) studies. From these studies it is confirmed that the compound, PBAAB exhibits nematic, smectic A and smectic B phases. The textures exhibited by different phases are presented. The enthalpies and entropies at various phase transitions are also reported.
