Description for Lyotropic Chromonic Liquid Crystals: From Viscoelastic Properties to Living Liquid Crystals
hardcover. Series: Springer Theses. Num Pages: 95 pages, 5 black & white illustrations, 32 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHDF; PHF; PHVN; PNN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155. Weight in Grams: 349.
This thesis describes lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals (LCLCs) with exotic elastic and viscous properties. The first part of the thesis presents a thorough analysis of the elastic and viscous properties of LCLCs as functions of concentration, temperature and ionic contents, while the second part explores an active nematic system: living liquid crystals, which represent a combination of LCLC and living bacteria.
LCLCs are an emerging class of liquid crystals that have shown profound connections to biological systems in two aspects. First, the assembly process of the chromonic aggregates is essentially the same as DNA oligomers and other super-molecular assemblies of ... Read more
