In this review, we report recent developments on the shear-induced transitions and
instabilities found in surfactant wormlike micelles. The survey focuses on the nonlinear …

The paper by Yu and Saupe on the first biaxial nematic phase created excitement for a
number of reasons. Some theories of biaxial phases already existed, but experimental …

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation of quadrupolar nuclei is introduced as a new
method for determining micelle size and nematic order in lyotropic nematic mesophases …

The cesium pentadecafluorooctanoate (CsPFO)/2H20 system has been studied by small
angle X-ray and neutron scattering. The lamellar phase has previously been shown to …

Micellar phases of the sodium dodecyl (lauryl) sulfate (SLS)–water–decanol system have
been studied by x-ray scattering in the isotropic (I) phase, with emphasis on the I→ …

The system sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)/decanol (DeOH)/water presents, with
temperature increase, an unusual phase transition between a stable biaxial phase and a …

The nematic (N) domain in the ternary system sodium dodecyl sulfate/water/decanol was
investigated with opticalmicroscopy, with varying concentrationsand temperature. Either the …

How do orientational order and configurational entropy couple with micellar growth and
intermicellar forces in liquid-crystalline phases? Rather severe approximations have to be …

Optical birefringence measurements for a calamitic lyotropic liquid crystal containing sodium
lauryl sulphate/decanol/water are presented. A value of the order of 10‐3 was obtained …

Phase states in sodium lauryl sulphate–water–1-decanol lyotropic liquid-crystalline system
have been investigated for different temperature ranges. The dependence of triangle phase …
