18. Although we did not capture a separate stable ripple phase in our system, this ripple structure would provide a reasonable explanation of the intermediate structure observed in Fig. 2B. The ripple phase has been observed in many lipid systems (24) and can include macroripples with wavelengths of ∼ 100 nm (25). The slow neutralization strategy is necessary to leave enough time for the soft layer containing the hexagonal phase to bend.
19. It has been reported by Z. Luan et al. [J. Chem. Soc. Faraday Trans. 91, 2955 (1995)] that the crystal size of MCM-41 is reduced after incorporation of aluminum into the structure. In our case, this is reflected in shorter and thinner tubules when aluminum is incorporated into the framework.
