31. Although there are many possible arrangements of the Q″ phase, the most energetically favorable is a simple cubic arrangement with a surfactant concentration of 13/32.

41. In the notation employed by Wells, an (n,p) net meets p×p at a vertex, and has a shortest circuit of n links. Seven (10,3) nets were studied by Wells, who indexed them by the letters a to g. The (10,3)-a net is 3-connected, and has all links of equal length, with all interbond angles of 120°.

45. The gyroid phase is unique among the known minimal surfaces. Most known minimal surfaces are spanned by linear nets which consist of twofold rotational axes embedded in the surfaces. The gyroid surface does not have a twofold rotational axis, and thus cannot be spanned by a linear net. Furthermore, the two labyrinths of most minimal surfaces are congruent, whereas in the gyroid surface they are oppositely congruent.
