Prior to the authors' study, it had already been pointed out by several workers that the mesomorphic behavior and Theological properties of aqueous HPC solutions were much affected by addition of neutral salts as the third component, for example: (a) Suto, S.; Nishibori, W.; Kudo, K.; Karasawa, M. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 1989, 37, 737.
