Abstract
The phase situation in a few members of 4,4'-dialkylbiphenyl homologou s series were investigated. Different orthogonal smectic E phases exis ting in the temperature range below the smectic B-cryst phase were obs erved. The simultaneous existence of three different smectic E phases in 4-pentyl 4'-hexylbiphenyl by thermomicroscopic, DSC and rentgenogra phic methods was confirmed. The miscibility studies were used to assig n these phases to other smectic phases existing in other members of th is homologous series.
