β¦ Synopsis
A study about the magnetic behaviour of magnetite nanoparticles diluted in lyotropic liquid crystals was carried out. It was corroborated that micellar phases of the liquid crystal suppressed the superparamagnetism of the nanoparticles by rising the blocking temperature beyond the room temperature. Phase transitions in the lyotropic mixtures can be determined from M vs. T curves of the ferrolyotropic. When the liquid crystal is in the nematic discotic phase, the magnetization and the susceptibility of the mixture mimics the behaviour of the orientational order parameter of the phase.

A type I lyotropic liquid crystalline system based on the amphiphile potassium laurate, and possessing positive diamagnetic anisotropy has been investigated using electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy of spin labeled laurate molecules. A comparison has been made of the ESR order parameters and
Cholesteric aqueous lyotropic liquid crystals have been prepared by the addition of optically active guest molecules to Type II disk micelles which orient in magnetic fields. ESR spectra obtained when the helical axis is perpendicular to the field direction are sensitive to the nematic-cholesteric t
