15. 7-water system is determined by DSC and optical microscopy. Interesting three-phase equilibria have been revealed. However, the conclusion that the solid surfactant-water compound is formed is wrong; the DSC data clearly indicate existence of a eutectic phase transition in which a liquid crystal phase is formed out of solid surfactant phase and ice.

Langmuir 1998;14:7371-7377. •The swelling and dissolution of the lamellar phase is studied by optical microscopy in penetration-scan experiments on an AOT/NaCl/water system. By shearing the lamellar phase prior to contact, a metastable state of close-packed lamellar vesicles is prepared. The term 'onion phase' for this state is unfortunate, in my opinion, as this is a biphasic state, not a single phase.
