Abstract
The nature of phases with which vesicles are in equilibrium with lamellar liquid crystals are investigated by transmission electron microscopy. A freeze-fracture electron micrograph of a phase in dilute aqueous mixtures of cetyl trimethylammonium tosylate (CTAB) and sodium octyl sulfonate (SOSO) is shown. A phase diagram of the mixture revealed two L3 phases which are located roughly symmetrical around the equimolar CTAB-SOSO. It is inferred that mechanisms and intermediates of mesoporous silicate formation and microstructure transitions can be visualized by freeze-fracture and cryoelectron microscopy.
