Graphene oxide (GO) was doped to eutectic uniaxial nematic liquid crystals (NLCs)(E5CN7)
with different percentages to improve the physiochemical properties of NLCs effectively. GO …

Various methods have been developed to determine the size of molecular bilayer structures
dispersed in liquids. We focused on the nanosheet (NS) growth inside the bilayers in …

In the present study, the interactions of the anionic azo dye Sunset Yellow with
dodecylalkylammonium bromide (DAABr) surfactants in lyotropic mixtures have been …

The effects of the anionic azo dye Sunset Yellow on the stabilization of lyotropic uniaxial and
biaxial nematic phases and on the uniaxial to biaxial phase transitions were studied. The …

Lyotropic liquid crystalline (LLC) phases are derived from a binary mixture of Withania
somnifera roots and ethylene glycol. Studied concentrations of Withania somnifera …

Nematic phases are some of the most common phases among the lyotropic liquid crystalline
structures. They have been widely investigated during last decades. In early studies, two …

We investigate the origin of “secondary disclinations” that were recently described as new
evidence of a biaxial nematic phase in an oxadiazole bent-core thermotropic liquid crystal …

Conoscopic images have confirmed the occurrence of biaxial positive (NB+) and biaxial
negative (NB−) nematic phases between the two uniaxial nematic (discotic–ND and …

The lyotropic ternary mixture of dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTMABr), 1-dodecanol
(DDeOH) and water (H 2 O) was studied by optical conoscopy and Abbe refractometer …

We introduce shape variations in a liquid-crystalline system by considering an elementary
Maier-Saupe lattice model for a mixture of uniaxial and biaxial molecules. Shape variables …
