title: Changed lyotropic liquid crystalline structure due to polymerization of the amphiphilic component.
abstract: Optical patterns in polarized light and x-ray reflections in the low-angle region were used to detect a shift from one liquid crystalline structure to another during polymerization. The polymerization took place in a Iotropic liquid crystal of water and sodium undecenoate, with a structure consisting of cylinders in a two-dimensional hexagonal close packing. After polymerization, a lamellar liquid crystalline structure was obtained.
