摘要
The changes in the lyotropic phases after mixing amphiphilics with different chain lengths or after changing the environmental temperature are investigated theoretically. Three cases are considered: (a) chains with the same number of carbon atoms deformed because of the thermal motion; (b) a mixture of amphiphilics with hard hydrocarbon chains of different lengths; (c) in a more general phenomenological approach, an expression is proposed for the elastic energy, needed for the packing of the hydrocarbon chain in the building block of every lyotropic phase. © 1979.
