Abstract
For certain ranges of phase-volume ratio, there are two-phase structures in which both phases are continuous and interfacial area is less than in dispersions of globular units having the same volume ratio and average repeat distance. Included are bicontinuous structures defined by multiply connected minimal surfaces of very high genus and everywhere saddleshaped.
