Organization of branched rod-coil molecules into a 3-D tetragonally perforated lamellar mesophase.
Tetramerization of coil-rod-coil ABC triblock copolymers to a tetrabranched molecule induces an unusual 3-D tetragonally perforated layered liquid crystalline phase as an intermediate structure between 1-D lamellar and 2-D hexagonal columnar phases.
