Abstract
Polyelectrolyte surfactant complexes made df poly(styrenesulfonate) an d different alkyltrimethylammonium derivatives are ''synthesized'' by common precipitation in water. Redissolved in polar organic solvents, these complexes show polyelectrolyte behavior. Cast films of these com plexes exhibit highly ordered mesomorphous Phases which are characteri zed by X-ray diffraction. Depending on alkane chain length, different layered phase modifications with long periods between 2.9 and 4.1 nm a re obtained.
