By Mathew L. Lynch, Patrick T. Spicer

ISBN-10: 1574444492

ISBN-13: 9781574444490

With the advance of various analytical chemistry concepts, the invention of wealthy and diverse houses touching on bicontinuous liquid crystal buildings has yielded precious functions in medication, buyer items, fabrics technology, and biotechnology. featuring contributions from 24 specialists around the globe, Bicontinuous Liquid Crystals offers a complete evaluate of those buildings with a pragmatic method of using them in production and laboratory approaches. This ebook considers the cubic, mesh, ribbon, and sponge equilibrium levels of bicontinuous buildings. It starts off with a old point of view and a theoretical platform for research, by means of a close dialogue of actual chemistry, houses, and structural features of different levels. The textual content interrelates the main priceless analytical equipment for the characterization of the habit and balance of liquid crystalline levels in response to constitution, geometry, composition-dependent alterations, temperature, dispersion, and different components. those recommendations comprise differential geometry, thermodynamics, neighborhood and worldwide packing, and the learn of conformational entropy. The publication additionally highlights instruments for mathematically visualizing bicontinuous platforms. this gives a superb starting place for the authors' exam of the newest reviews and functions, comparable to managed liberate, fabrics improvement, fabrication, processing, polymerization, protein crystallization, membrane fusion, and remedy of human pores and skin. Bicontinuous Liquid Crystals represents present tendencies and cutting edge rules within the research of bicontinuous liquid crystals. Divided into 3 sections, it presents an entire evaluation of theoretical and modeling elements, actual chemistry and characterization, and purposes during this energetic box of study.

Some efforts have been made to determine these cubic structures from electron density calculations based on the reflection intensities. One problem is orientation effects on the intensities, as the cubic phases tend to form large single-crystal domains. An analysis of experimental diffraction data of monoolein and phospholipid cubic phases was recently reported by Garstecki and Holyst (12,13). Their model of these cubic phases consists of a bilayer of constant thickness (and water layers of constant thickness in the inverse structures).
