N2 - The behaviors of two systems are considered: a low-molecular system (a binary mixture of low-molecular components) and a polymer system (mixture of a macromolecules and a low-molecular dopant) whose components reversibly bind to form dimers capable of liquid-crystal ordering. The general theory of binary-mixture structuring, where two processes occur-self-assembly of mesogenic dimers of the mixture components and their self-organization-is presented. The theory demonstrates general laws of the behavior of low-molecular and polymer systems as well as differences related to the features of polymer thermodynamics.
