The average distances between micelles are measured by x-ray diffraction as a function of
temperature in the discotic nematic phase of the lyotropic system comprised of potassium …

The formation of micellar nematics is discussed with emphasis on the transitions between
nematic phases and nematic-smectic transitions. Phase diagrams for MTAB/l-decanol/D, O …

Experimental evidence for the existence of a first order transition between Nc–Nd uniaxial
lyonematic phases as a function of the variable M d (number of decanol molecules per …

High‐resolution x‐ray measurements have been performed at the synchrotron of LURE
(Orsay) to study both uniaxial (discotic and calamitic) and biaxial nematic lyomesophases of …

Abstract «Nematic lyotropic» phases are anisotropic fluids made of aggregates of
amphiphilic molecules dispersed in water. Their nematic behaviour (flow, orientation in a …

Synchrotron X-ray measurements are performed in both uniaxial (discotic and calamitic) and
biaxial nematic lyomesophases of the mixture K-laurate, 1-decanol and D2O. A first-order …

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 …

The nematic-isotropic and the nematic-to-lamellar phase changes in the lyotropic liquid
crystal formed by decylammonium chloride micelles in a water-ammonium chloride solution …

The effective exponents characterizing the orientational order parameter at the nematic-to-
isotropic transition in discotic micellar solutions obtained on dissolution of either cesium …

X-ray scattering, electrical conductivity and NMR measurements are presented for a sample
of caesium pentadecafluoroctanoate (CsPFO)(55 per cent by weight)/water (2H2O). A first …
