Micellar Liquid Crystals

  • Chapter
Micelles, Membranes, Microemulsions, and Monolayers

Part of the book series: Partially Ordered Systems ((PARTIAL.ORDERED))

Abstract

The work by groups such as those of Ekwall et al. [1], Luzzati et al. [2] and Winsor [3], beginning in the 1930’s, laid the basis for our current perception of the phase behavior and structure of lyotropic amphiphilic liquid crystals. In particular, examples of mesophases with one-(lamellar), two-(hexagonal and rectangular), and three-(cubic) dimensional translational order were established. But the translationally invariant nematic phase, which is characterized by long range orientational order of nematogenic particles, was conspicuous by its absence. This has had both conceptual and practical implications for the manner in which our present day knowledge of amphiphilic systems has developed. For example, the difficulty of obtaining macroscopically aligned samples of the translationally ordered mesophases has imposed severe constraints on definitive experimental studies.
