Abstract:

With wide applications of lyotropic liquid crystals in the fields of bionics, functional materials, chemical industry, medicine, petroleum industry, daily cosmetics, etc., the research of constructing non-aqueous phase liquid crystals attracts more attention recently. Based on the basic theory of the formation of the lyotropic liquid crystals of surfactant aggregates, the formation, characterization and application of the lyotropic liquid crystals of surfactants in non-aqueous solvents such as straight chain alcohols (glycerin, ethylene glycol, etc.), organic amines (formamide, N-methylformamide, etc.), ionic liquids, etc. are reviewed, and the development trend in this field is prospected.

Key words: non-aqueous solvent, surfactant, lyotropic liquid crystals
