Figure 3 X-ray scattering patterns of the Q L phase: (a) WAXS diffractions at 251C
and at +251C; (b) SAXS diffractions at 51C. Intensity is plotted against
scattering angle 2 y
sharp WAXS and SAXS peaks indicate that the sample has a lamellar struc-
ture, characterized by a crystalline packing of the amphiphile chains (as
evidenced by sharp Bragg diffraction peaks in the WAXS scattering regime),
which are ordered in parallel stacks of bilayers. The high-range order is
evidenced by sharp Bragg diffraction peaks in the SAXS scattering regime in
the ratio 1:2 [Figure 3(b)].
The third endothermic event occurs at 19.321C(DH ¼ 1.16 J g 1 ); it is
attributed to the L a -Q L phase transition. The analysis of the reciprocal spacing
