Polyelectrolyte–surfactant complexes have properties that may allow them to be used to replace expensive and syntehtically complicated chiral liquid‐crystal systems in display applications, for example. The model systems of poly‐ L ‐lysin complexed with soybean lecithin—the Figure shows the structure model—and κ‐carrageenan with various dialkyldimethylammonium salts are described.
