The influence of polyelectrolytes on structure formation in liquid synthetic amphiphils are preferred . If the head group crystalline Na-dodecylsulfate/decanol/water systems was investiof the amphiphil is ionic, then the role of electrostatic forces gated by means of small angle X-ray diffraction, rheology, NMR has to be taken into account.

By adding Na-polyacrylate (PAA) polyelectrolyte interactions, systematic investigations about into the mesophase, the one-phase region is left and phenomena the role of Coulombic forces are rather scarce.

The self-organization process can be regulated directly by varying the water content of the system.
