✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A tentative mechanism of aggregation of amphiphilic molecules to a rigid mesogenic polylelectrolyte is suggested. A basic soluble unit may grow laterally and longitudinally, eventually forming nematic phases and gels. Relevance to self‐assembly of complex biological structures is hypothesized.
