Since the discovery of the liquid‐crystalline state of matter 125 years ago, this field has
developed into a scientific area with many facets. This Review presents recent …

This critical review focuses on recent progress in the field of T-shaped ternary amphiphiles.
These molecules can self-assemble into a series of new liquid crystalline (LC) phases with …

An overview on the recent developments in the field of liquid crystalline bent-core molecules
(so-called banana liquid crystals) is given. After some basic issues, dealing with general …

The effects of perfluorinated and semiperfluorinated hydrocarbon units on the self-assembly
of rod-like, disc-like, polycatenar, taper-and star-shaped, dendritic, and bent-core liquid …

T-shaped polyphilic triblock molecules, consisting of a rodlike p-terphenyl unit, a hydrophilic
and flexible laterally attached oligo (oxyethylene) chain terminated by an 1-acylamino-1 …

The diversity of phase morphologies observed recently in star‐branched liquid‐crystalline
and polymeric compounds containing at least three immiscible segments is reviewed …

This review is focused on the basic concepts of microsegregation and a fundamental
understanding of the formation of positionally ordered LC phases based on micro‐and …

A series of T-shaped polyphilic molecules composed of a rigid linear biphenyl core with a
polar glycerol group at each end and one swallow-tail semiperfluorinated lateral chain were …

In this account recent progress in enhancing the complexity of liquid crystal self-assembly is
highlighted. The discussed superstructures are formed mainly by polyphilic T-shaped and X …
