Frustration between two- and three-dimensional smectic ordering leads to a biaxial nematic phase

The bola-amphiphilic, T-shaped mesogen CT2 has an aromatic, biphenyl core terminated on both ends by hydrophilic groups and a semi-perfluorinated, aliphatic side chain. Upon cooling from the isotropic phase, the fluorinated tails and the polar, rod-like cores nanophase-segregate to form a fluid lame...
