Abstract
A strategy for preparing mixed lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs) possessing a stable 2-D hexagonal mesostructure is demonstrated, which can be controlled easily and reproducibly through the use of both hydrophobic dopings and inorganic cations serving as additives. By using small molecules such as LiCl and anthracene, respectively, the cylindrical micelles of mixed amphiphiles can spontaneously assemble into 2-D hexagonal mesophase. This kind of mixed amphiphiles may be used as stable templates for synthesis of templated nanomaterials.
