Schematic representation of the HII phase. Note the disordered tails of the lipids and the headgroups surrounding a water channel. Two strategies have been used to polymerize the HII phase. The polymerization of monomer 67 cross-links the phase and yields a mesoporous solid (ref 205). The polymerization of monomer 70 cross- links the individual unit cells of the HII phase (ref 207).
