Abstract
The binary mixture of two non-mesogenic compounds viz., Tetradecyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide (TTAB) and Ortho-phosphoric acid (H3PO4) exhibits very interesting liquid crystalline smectic phases at large range of concentrations and temperatures. The mixture with wide range of concentrations of TTAB exhibits Sm A, Sm D, Sm B and Sm E phases sequentially, when the specimen is cooled from its isotropic phase. The different liquid crystalline phases of the mixture were also studied using DSC, X-ray and optical microscopic techniques. All the studies confirm the presence of the rare Sm E phase in the mixture. This type of polymorphism is very rare in the binary mixture of non-mesogenic compounds.
