The single gyroid phase as well as the alternating double network gyroid, composed of two alternating single gyroid networks, hold a significant place in ordered nanoscale morphologies for their potential applications as photonic crystals, metamaterials and templates for porous ceramics and metals. Here, we report the first alternating network cubic liquid crystals. They form through self-assembly of X-shaped polyphiles, where glycerol-capped terphenyl rods lie on the gyroid surface while semipe ...[more]
