Rv. Talroze et al., INDUCTION AND STABILIZATION OF LIQUID-CRYSTAL ORDER IN H-BOND COMPLEXES CONTAINING NONMESOGENIC SPECIES, Macromolecular symposia, 117, 1997, pp. 219-228
A new approach to create mesomorphic ordered systems is discussed. It
is based on the idea to use noncovalent interactions in the designing
of thermotropic structures by modelling lyotropic liquid crystal (LC)
when the water interlayer is changed by appropriate solid substances t
hat are able to interact with the polar part of an amphiphilic molecul
e without any strong change in the intermolecular interactions between
the non-polar ''tails''.
