By means of polarizing optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction and electro-optic experiments she firmly establishes aspects of the structure of the novel lyotropic liquid crystalline phase and elucidates its fascinating properties, among them a pronounced polar electro-optic effect, analogous to the ferroelectric switching of its thermotropic counterpart. The helical ground state of the mesophase raises the fundamental question of how chiral interactions are "communicated" across layers of more or less disordered and achiral solvent molecules which are located between adjacent bi-layers of the chiral amphiphile molecules. This thesis bridges an important gap between thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals and pioneers a new field of liquid crystal research....3077391A First Example of a Lyotropic Smectic C Analog Phase17321925https://www.gandhi.com.mx/a-first-example-of-a-lyotropic-smectic-c--analog-phase-9783319272030/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3193935/9ca41dd1-0e7f-4ea5-9083-49a72223c9c4.jpg?v=638385010606070000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20159783319272030_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_In this thesis Johanna Bruckner reports the discovery of the lyotropic counterpart of the thermotropic SmC phase, which has become famous as the only spontaneously polarized, ferroelectric fluid in nature.
