Effect of R6 to the structure of lyotropic liquid crystal composed of DOPC/Water (60/40 wt %) system at 25 °C. (a) Small angle Xray scattering (SAXS) spectra for DOPC/Water (60/40 wt %) system with addition of R6; (a-1) , (a-2) , (a-3) , (a-4) are Lα with q value peak ratio 1:2:3, Coexistence of V₁ phase with the shoulder peaks were indicated by dotted vertical line for (a-3) and (a-4), (a-5) is V₁ (1:√6:√8 ), and (a-6) is H₁ (1:√3:2); (b) Polarized microscope image for each composition, (c) Schematic diagram of DOPC/Water Lα based on the results shown in (a,b). Expansion of inter layer thickness (D1) to (D2,3,4) indicates curved deformation of planar Lα structure to undulated lamellar as depicted, and D3 and D4 reasonably fit to the Mesh₁ structure as tetragonal mesh₁ shown in (d).
