Ionic liquid crystals in metal alkanoate systems

摘要

The paper is devoted to the research on the ionic liquid crystals in the metal alkanoate systems. They present a new class of ordered ionic solvents which combine the properties of usual ionic liquids with ones of liquid crystalline solvents and may be promising materials for the application as universal matrices for modern fields of techniques such as optoelectronics and laser techniques. The main regularities of ionic liquid crystal formation and stability have been established.
