Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A reverse (water-in-oil) cubic phase was observed in a ternary system consisting of an amphiphilic diblock copolymer (EOBO, where EO represents ethylene oxide and BO represents butylene oxide), water, and p-xylene in the following composition range: 47-62 wt% polymer and 7-12 wt% water. This cubic phase occurs between a reverse hexagonal liquid crystalline (H) and a reverse micellar solution (L) region and can be considered the result of crystallization of the reverse micelles as they swell with increasing water content. Small-angle X-ray spectra from samples of this cubic phase can be indexed to the crystallographic space group Fd3m (Q227). This is one of the first times a cubic structure consisting of distinct reverse micelles has been observed in a ternary amphiphile-water-oil system; bicontinuous reverse cubic structures, such as the Gyroid (Ia3d, Q230), are more common and have been previously identified in such ternary systems between the lamellar (L) and the H phases.
