Abstract

While retaining its lamellar liquid crystal phase, K₄Nb₆O₁₇ nanosheets were used as a template to sandwich and stabilize an alkylpoly(ethylene oxide) nonionic surfactant–water system showing monodomain (lamella) formation within the inorganic niobate sheets that appears to be not dependent on the surfactant liquid crystalline state in solution but more its concentration.
