An intermediate surface hexatic phase between the liquid and the crystalline phases has been found for the first time in a lyotropic lamellar liquid-crystal system.

Progress in preparation of nanomaterials by lyotropic liquid crystal template method;

Study of lyotropic liquid crystal for cationic surfactant C_8NBr system;

Platinum nanowires were electrodeposited in a lamellar lyotropic liquid crystal,composed of nonionic surfactant tetraethylene glycol monododecyl ether and H2PtCl6 aqueous solution.

Preparation and properties of novel lyotropic liquid crystalline copolyamides containing phthalazinone moiety;

Critical temperatures of lyotropic liquid crystalline formed in cellulose diacetate(CDA hereafter)/trifluoroacetic acid and CDA/dichloroacetic acid solutions of different concentration were determined respectively using DSC technique.

To analyse the seff-assembly process of amphiphilic molecule given us the critical density formula of micelles forming,and researched the liquid crystals phase of amphiphilic molecule's forming,pointed out that forming of lyotropic liquid crystals simultaneously needed two conditions of density and temperature.

Research progress is reviewed on electrodeposition of nanomaterials su ch as nanofilms and nanowires of metals, semiconductors and conductive polymers templated by lyotropic liquid crystals which are formed by small molecular surfa ctant.

The rheological properties of lyotropic liquid crystals,hexagonal, cubic and lamellar phases are summarized.
