Abstract
Partition coefficients of solutes between bilayers and water are determined with a new method, using contrast variation with SANS. The isotopic composition of the solvent that annuls the contrast is shown to depend on thermodynamical quantities related to the adsorption. Experimental results are given for two organic solute molecules (lactitol and aniline) in the favorable case of the swollen lamellar phase obtained with DDAB double chain surfactant.
