Certaines molécules organiques allongées présentent des phases intermédiaires entre solide cristallisé et liquide amorphe, par chauffage, ce sont les mésophases. D'une manière imagée mais ambiguë on les appelle communément «cristaux liquides». Ces phases mésomorphes n'ont pas la structure tripériodique des cristaux. L'isotropie statistique des liquides ne les caractérise pas davantage. 4, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9sophase

in the presence of increasing amounts of water (i.e., with more than 50 per cent), lamellar phases, generally called myelin figures, are formed. Such lamellar phases rearrange in what is called a smetic mesophase, which denotes that a substance in a liquid-crystalline state may orient its molecules in parallel planes. 1, record 2, English, - smetic%20mesophase

en présence de plus grandes quantités d'eau (e.g., plus de 50 %), il y a formation de phases lamellaires, généralement appelées figures myéliniques. De telles phases se réarrangent en une mésophase dite smectique, qui dénote qu'une substance dans un état liquide cristallin peut orienter ses molécules dans des plans parallèles. 1, record 2, French, - m%C3%A9sophase%20smectique
