Abstract

Two micellar cubic phases with different structures were observed for the first time in the order Im3[combining macron]m-Pm3[combining macron]n in a thermotropic phase sequence of 4,6-diaminotriazine terminated rod-like liquid crystals upon increasing alkyl chain length or rising temperature.
