Abstract
A lamellar phase, i.e. a smectic A liquid crystal, is often present in the phase diagram of multicomoonent systems which contain at least one amphiphilic species. It may be viewed as a stack of surfactant films separating the lamellae of hydrophilic components from those of lipoohilic ones. In some cases swollen lamellar phases exist: one kind of lamella is much thicker than the other one and the reticular distances of some of these smectic phases have been reported to be close to one micrometer /1/.
