Annotation
A mixture of A and B monomers without shape anisotropy but that are capable of forming three types, viz., AA, BB, and AB mesogenic dimers is investigated. The possibility of a temperature transition from one nematic phase consisting mainly of AB dimer formed by monomers of different types into another nematic phase consisting mainly of AA and BB dimers formed by monomers of the same type is shown.
