	abstract = {We study the possibility of using hydrogen-bonding interactions to promote the stabilisation of phase biaxiality in nematic binary mixtures of oblate and prolate thermotropic mesogens. We extend Onsager's theory of the isotropic-nematic transition to allow for such selective associations among unlike species and we use it to calculate the phase diagram of binary mixtures consisting of hard spherocylinders and cut spheres. The results show that directional, short-ranged attractions between rods and discs strongly stabilise the biaxial nematic mixture against demixing and suggest that interactions of hydrogen-bonding type may provide an efficient mechanism for sustaining phase biaxiality in binary mixtures of real thermotropic nematogens. Preliminary Monte Carlo simulations designed to test such predictions are discussed. © 1998 OPA (Overseas Publishers Association) N.V.
