Lyomesophases that possess helical structure are named cho-lesteric similar to
thermotropic mesophases. 1 11'3 The units, in both of them—micelles inthe lyotropics and …

Lyotropic cholesteric liquid crystalline phases were prepared by doping the ternary mixture
of potassium laurate (KL)/decanol (DeOH)/deuterium oxide (D 2 O) with brucine sulphate, in …

The application of a magnetic field to a cholesteric mesophase not only aligns the helical
structure but also increases the pitch of the helix until at some critical field the cholesteric …

Figure 1. Deuterium NMR spectra of the D20 component of the cho-lesteric type I
lyomesophase as a function of time. The spectra relate to stages in the process of unwinding …

Introduction Mixtures of amphiphilic molecules and water may give nematic lyomesophases
under proper temperature-concentration condi-tions. 1 From symmetry considerations, 2 two …

NMR spectroscopy and optical microscopy have been used to study phase transitions and
structure in nematic lyotropic mesophases formed by potassium laurate, decylammonium …

Induced cholesteric lyotropic mesophases can be formed by the addition of cholesterol to
“nematic” phases of potassium laurate/n-decanol/water and electrolyte. The resulting …

Theexistence of a thermally induced phase transiton between two nematic phases in the
ternary mixture of sodium decyl sulfate, decanol, and water is verified by microscopicstudies …

The handedness of lyotropic cholesterics formed by decylammonium chloride, ammonium
chloride, water and chiral dopants was determined by circular and linear dichroism and …

Type I intrinsic cholesteric lyotropic mesophases were prepared from potassium lN-lauroyl-
serinate. This chiral amphphde was synthesized by the acylation of l-serine amino-group …
