Self-assembly of nonionic surfactants into lyotropic liquid crystals in ethylammonium nitrate, a room-temperature ionic liquid
Article Abstract:
The stability of a variety of lyotropic liquid crystals formed by a number of polyoxyethylene nonionic surfactants in the room-temperature ionic liquid ethylammonium nitrate (ENA) is surveyed and reported. The pattern of self-assembly behavior and mesophase formation is strikingly similar to that observed in water, even including the existence of a lower consulate boundary or cloud point.

Ionic diffusion and salt dissociation conditions of lithium liquid crystal electrolytes
Article Abstract:
Salt dissociation conditions and dynamic properties of ionic species are investigated in liquid crystal electrolytes of lithium. The results found that the exchange rate between the iron and ion pair is fairly slow once the salt is dissociated in the liquid crystal electrolytes.

Orientation of simple amides at the Bicelle-Water interface of a lyotropic liquid crystal
Article Abstract:
The quantitative differences in orientation strength among the seven amides studied and its physically appealing strong interpretation are striking. Measurements provided serve as an important benchmark against comparison of molecular dynamics simulations on these systems.
