The phrase behavior of six amphiphilic copolymers with n‐decane is reported, and three phase diagrams are discussed in detail. The copolymers are representative of three different types of intramolecular ordering. The phase diagrams show that the extent of anisotropic gel phase formation and liquid crystalline behavior depends on the length of the hydrophilic chain in the copolymer and not the percentage amount of hydrophile.
