Lyotropic nematogenic system potassium laurate-1-decanol-water: Method of synthesis and study of phase diagrams

The results of the study of the potassium laurate-l-decanol-water lyotropic composition are presented. The procedure of preparation of micellar soluti ons provides the good reproducibility of the phase diagrams. The configurat ions of the domains of the liquid crystal order are constructed on the conc entration plane at the constant temperature as well as the temperature sect ions (T, C1-decanol) (at the constant ratio of potassium. laurate to water) and (T, C-water) (at the constant ratio of potassium laurate to l-decanol) . The liquid-crystal phases observed are described. (C) 2000 MAIK "Nauka/In terperiodica".
