Using mannose as the sugar head, five Guerbet glycolipids with chain ranges from C 8 to C 24 were synthesised and studied for their liquid crystal behaviour. Differential scanning calorimetry, optical polarising microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering were employed to determine the thermal, phas...
