Abstract

Investigations are carried out of the electrical conductivity of lyotropic liquid crystals based on potassium laurate. The studied systems are anisotropic, and the electrical conductivity along the lamellar layers is one order of magnitude greater than theelectrical conductivity across the lamellar layers and is one order of magnitude greater than the typical electrical conductivity of liquid electrolytes.
