Phase states in potassium oleate plus water and potassium oleate plus water plus decanol lyotropic systems

In this work the investigations of the characteristic textures and the dynamics of their concentration and temperature transformations in potassium oleate + water lyotropic system have been carried out. The effect of the decanol on lyotropic mesomorphism as well as on the character of typical textures and the concentration ranges of lyotropic liquid! crystalline mesophases have also been studied. The phase states diagrams of the potassium oleate + water and potassium oleate + decanol + water lyotropic liquid crystalline systems are presented.
