The mesophases formed by liquid crystals can be divided into four main groups: (a)Nematic, (b) Discotic, (c) Smectic, (d) Sanidic. Because there is very little structural information in the nematic phase (a), we describe here our work on the other three mesophases. While the monomers generally crystallize when quenched into the solid state, the polymers can be made to retain their mesophase structure by forming a glass. Therefore this phase becomes amenable to high resolution imaging.
