Résumé

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.

Comprehensive reference, providing complete overview of field.
Brings together wide set of experimental results only found in individual papers.
Suitable for use as pedagogical introduction to subject.
Presents experimental data in unifying context of theoretical models.
Includes range of technological applications.

Readership: Graduate students and researchers working in physics, chemistry, materials science, crystallography, cosmetics and oil prospecting.
