Abstract
The importance of lyotropic liquid crystalline structures is shown for two selected surfactant applications, i.e. cosmetics and detergency. The properties of lyotropic liquid crystals are demonstrated for binar y surfactant-water systems, ternary surfactant-oil-water systems and m ulticomponent systems. Detailed knowledge of the phase behavior is cru cial for tailor-made product development.
