Experimental Conditions for the Stabilization of the Lyotropic Biaxial Nematic Mesophase

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 uniaxial nematic phases (discotic, ND, and calamitic, NC) were identified. After the discovery of the third one, named bi...
