Introduction

   Liquid crystals are classified as being either thermotropic or lyotropic [1] depending on the way by which the mesophase is obtained. In thermotropic liquid crystals, the mesophase is formed by the intermolecular interactions while the driving force in lyotropic systems is the hydrophobic effect. (Katsaras1997intro01.gif)
