Summary
The mesophase formation was observed from the system of mixed organic polymer (hydroxypropyl cellulose) and inorganic polymer (imogolite) in acetic acid aqueous solution. The phase diagram of the mesophase formation was drawn as a function of imogolite content. The mesophase structure was found to change from the helicoidall arrangement of nematic sheets to the pile of pleated nematic sheets with increasing imogolite content.
