Intermediate Phases in Binary Liquid Crystalline Systems

Department of Chemistry, University of Jammu, Jammu (Tawi)-180 001 Manuscript received 29 March 1983, accepted 21 July 1984 The diagrams of state of three binary systems have been studied. One of these shows appearance of intermediate phases of the type N and SA, while in the other two diagrams, either N or SA phase, as intermediate one, are observed. The explanation for their appearance is provided. The smectic C and smectic I phases of HOAB remain restricted on its respective side and do not show any miscibility with smectic C phases of HBBA and HBOA
