Abstract:Abstract-The binary mixture of Cholesteryl ethyl corbonate (CEC) and Terephthal-bis-p-n-Tetradecylaniline (TB14A) exhibits a twisted grain boundary (TGB) phase and smectic polymorphic phases. The mixture exhibits TGB-A and TGB-C phases in different concentrations and at different temperatures. Mixtures with higher concentrations of TB14A exhibit I -Ch -TGB-A -TGB-C -Sm A -Sm I -Sm F phases sequentially when the specimen is cooled from its isotropic melt. The existence of different TGB phases and polymorphic sm… Show more
