Mesoporous polyaniline (PANI)-manganese dioxide (MnO2) films have been successfully fabricated from hexagonal structured lyotropic liquid crystalline phase with Brij 56 surfactant. The phase structures of the lyotropic liquid crystalline templates are characterized by polarized optical microscopy (P...
