Abstract

Structural rearrangements of the lyotropic liquid–crystal system sodium salt of di–(2–ethylhexyl) ester of sulfosuccinic acid (AOT) –n–heptane – water under the influence of vitamin E were studied by X–ray diffraction. The studies were carried out in the concentration range from 50 to 80% AOT+E in a mixed solvent n–heptane/water. The studies were carried out with a gradual increase in the concentration of vitamin E in the system and with an increase in the concentration of AOT + E in a solution of n–heptane/water. It has been established that, in the model liquid crystal system under study, vitamin E penetrating into the structure of the liquid crystal phase AOT–n–heptane–water leads to structural rearrangements and compactization of the molecular packing of the “smooth” phase.
