Lyotropic Liquid Crystals

This book aims to review the field of lyotropic liquid crystals from amphiphilic to colloidal systems, bridging the gap between the two worlds of lyotropics and thermotropics by showing that many of the features observed in standard thermotropic liquid crystals may also be observed in lyotropic systems and vice versa.

Indeed, for a long time, lyotropic liquid crystals have been overshadowed by thei...
