Abstract

In block systems made of long chair molecules (lipids, detergents, copolymers), attached by one end at an interface, the steric interactions impose a non zero chain alignment even if the chains are very flexible. This may explain why, in recent experiments on deuterated lammellar lipids, the quadrupolar order parameter S appears to be the same for most of the CD 2 groups.
