Abstract
With the purpose of studying viscous and elastic properties of new lyotropic nematic mesophase, the formation of the nematic mesophase in benzopurpurin-4В (BP-4В) – water and BP-4В – electrolytes systems is investigated by the polarization optical method. It is shown, that 0,8 – 2,0 % in water and 0,5 – 2,0 % solutions BP-4В in electrolits NaCl and KCl (concentration 0,003 and 0,03 М) form solutions BP-4В of nematic mesophase to which the formation of the tactoid precedes. Eventually, the nematic turns to anisotropic gel phase. At concentration of BP-4В 2,5 mas. % in water and 2,0 mas. % in electrolytes anisotropic gel phase is formed.

Keywords: benzopurpurin, nematic, nematic mesophase, lyotropic mesophase, chromonic mesophase, anisotropic gel phase, polarization optical method.
