Abstract
Polarizing microscopy and optical rotatory power measurements are used to determine the phase diagram for highly chiral mixtures of chiral and racemic cholesteric S-(+)-4-(2-methylbutyl)phenyl-4-decyloxybenzoate (CE6). In addition to the two blue phases previously reported for this system (BP I and BP II), the new results reported here contain information on the stability of the third blue phase (BP III).Keywords
