Abstract
Optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction studies reveal the presence of highly swollen mesophases in four-component systems containing amphiphilic triblock copolymers. According to the composition of the system, lamellar phases or hexagonal structures are produced. The polymeric mesophases exhibit textures very similar to those encountered in low molecular weight liquid crystalline phases.Keywords
