Abstract
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''.
