Molecular design of thermotropic liquid crystalline polyhydroxy amphiphiles exhibiting columnar and cubic mesophases of the normal type
Abstract
The phase sequence Colh1–CubV1–SA–Colh2–CubI2, which represents a major part of the theoretical lyotropic phase diagram of detergent solvent systems, was realized for the first time in a binary mixture of two thermotropic amphiphilic liquid crystals without any solvent.
