Binary mixtures of two novel amphiphilic mixtures of tetradecanol (TDC
) and orthophosphoric acid (H3PO4) exhibit an interesting liquid cryst
alline phases in large range of concentration and temperature, The mix
tures in the concentration range between 10 to 60% of TDC in H3PO4 exh
ibits SA, SD and SE phases. The mixtures with higher concentration of
TDC exhibit smectic phases. X-ray, DSC, Optical and NMR studies have b
een carried out.
