Abstract
AbstractPhase diagrams of binary mixtures consisting of a liquid crystal (LC) side chain polymer and low‐molar‐mass liquid crystal compounds are investigated. The pure components are very similar in their chemical constitution and contain the same mesogenic moiety. Both components exhibit a nematic phase. Their miscibility behaviour is drastically influenced by varying the alkyl chain length of the substituent of the low‐molar‐mass LC. With increasing length of the substituent the miscibility becomes smaller in the nematic and also in the isotropic phase and a phase separation takes place with two nematic or two isotropic phases of different composition coexisting.
