Lyotropic liquid crystalline nanoparticles have also been described. Concentrated solutions of gold nanorods in water in the presence of a surfactant (cetyltrimethyl-ammonium bromide) display a nematic mesophase stable up to 200 °C [74[. The N mesophase was identified by optical microscopy by their typical nematic droplets texture.
