Observation of an unprecedented body centered cubic micellar mesophase from rod-coil molecules.
We have demonstrated that rod-coil molecules based on a tetra-p-phenylene rod and a poly(propylene oxide) coil self-assemble into an unprecedented body centered cubic micellar structure in the melt, through detailed morphological analysis by X-ray scattering and transmission electron microscopy experiments.
