We report on the shear-induced transition from an oriented lamellar phase (Lα phase) to multilamellar vesicles (MLV) in two nonionic surfactant systems, namely, a 40 wt % sample of triethylene glycol monodecyl ether (C10E3) and a 40 wt % sample of tetraethylene glycol monododecyl ether (C12E4) in D2O. This transition was studied by time-resolved small-angle neutron and light scattering under shear. Within a range of shear rates from 2 to 100 s-1 at 25 °C the transition from the Lα phase to MLVs in the C10E3 system apparently is controlled by strain. This transition involves an intermediate structure with cylindrical scattering symmetry. This can be interpreted as multilamellar cylinders (MLCs) or as a coherent stripe buckling with the wave vector of the undulation in a neutral direction. The intermediate structures found along the transition path are stable for long times, when shear is turned off. This allows for studies on trapped intermediate structures and experiments where different positions within ...
