Abstract
| - The stability of a variety of lyotropic liquid crystals formed by a number of polyoxyethylene nonionic surfactantsin the room-temperature ionic liquid ethylammonium nitrate (EAN) is surveyed and reported. The pattern ofself-assembly behaviour and mesophase formation is strikingly similar to that observed in water, even includingthe existence of a lower consolute boundary or cloud point. The only quantitative difference from water isthat longer alkyl chains are necessary to drive the formation of liquid crystalline mesophases in EAN, suggestingthat a rich pattern of “solvophobic” self-assembly should exist in this solvent.
