POLYMERIZABLE MIXTURES CONTAINING IONIC GEMINI SURFACTANTS; AND LYOTROPIC LIQUID CRYSTALS, POLYMERS, AND MEMBRANES MADE THEREFROM

摘要

Disclosed are polymerizable mixtures comprising a functionalized ionic gemini surfactant and a thiol-ene crosslinking agent. The polymerizable mixtures that further comprise a polar solvent may be used to form the surfactant into a triply periodic multiply continuous lyotropic phase in the presence of the crosslinking agent. Upon crosslinking, the lyotropic phase morphology is substantially retained.
