This book gives a comprehensive description of the physical properties of lyotropic liquid crystals. Structural features, phase transitions and phase diagrams are discussed in detail. The available experimental data on lyotropic mixtures is presented in the unifying context of the Landau theories. This phenomenological approach is used for establishing connections between structural properties and phase diagrams. The book is suitable for use as a pedagogical introduction to the subject.Both uniaxial and biaxial phases have been characterized in the extensively investigated phase diagram of a mixture of ... existence of the ND phase in the mixture KL/potassium chloride/decanol-OD/D. The topology of the phase diagram ofanbsp;...
