Abstract
An overview is given of the isotropic and nematic phase behaviour in binary mixtures ofhard rods or plates with different lengths or diameters within the framework of theOnsager theory. On the basis of Gaussian trial functions the relative importance ofdifferent entropic contributions in the demixing of the isotropic and nematic phasesis explained for different mixtures. Modifications of this theory are discussedand new results are given for mixtures of plates differing only in diameter orthickness.
