In this reference, the authors found a bilayer thickness of 37 Å without the logarithmic correction, and 30 Å after logarithmic correction. The logarithmic correction has been first introduced by Gobulovic et al. [24] and then used by Porte et al. [25], to describe the swelling behavior of lamellar and sponge phases at very low concentrations. The validity of this correction was discussed and put into question in 1995 by Daicic et al. [26] who showed that it is only relevant for estimating the membrane rigidity. Strey et al. [9] determined the bilayer thickness for the whole lamellar phase domain using essentially light scattering measurements and thus very dilute suspensions (w < 2%). If they had used the period obtained by SANS, they would have found, even with the ID swelling law, a smaller bilayer thickness (around 33.4 Å) (Fig. 4, Ref. [8]). For our studies of concentrated suspensions we use the ideal 1D swelling law Equation (1).
