FROM THE LITERATURE
“….. In comparison to lamellar and hexagonal lyotropics, lyotropic nematic phases are less common. In recent years, however, the understanding of their stability has been much improved and, as a result, the pool of lyotropic nematic systems was significantly enlarged by the work of Akpinar et. al.”
Advanced Materials, 2007340, 2021
“….. In some recent publications, Akpinar, Reis, and Figueiredo-Neto reported X-ray and optical characterizations of biaxial nematic structures in a large class of quaternary liquid-crystalline mixtures. From these measurements, it has been possible to establish many novel phase diagrams in terms of temperature and molar fraction of the components, which represents a real advance with respect to the early work of Yu and Saupe for a ternary mixture……”
