Effects of Counterion on the Formation and Hydration Behavior of α-Form Hydrated Crystals (α-Gels)

Effects of Counterion on the Formation and Hydration Behavior of α-Form Hydrated Crystals (α-Gels)

α-Form hydrated crystals form a lamellar gel in which the alkyl chains of the amphiphilic molecules are hexagonally arranged within bilayers below the gel–liquid crystal phase transition temperature. In practice, the lamellar gel network with excess water is called an “α-gel”, particularly in the co...
