An Elastic Quartic Twist Theory for Chromonic Liquid Crystals
Silvia Paparini, Epifanio G. Virga
Chromonic liquid crystals are lyotropic materials which are attracting growing interest for their adapatbility to living systems. To describe their elastic properties, the classica…

Paradoxes for Chromonic Liquid Crystal Droplets
Silvia Paparini, Epifanio G. Virga
Chromonic liquid crystals constitute a novel lyotropic phase, whose elastic properties have so far been modeled within the classical Oseen-Frank theory, provided that the twist con…

Stability Against the Odds: the Case of Chromonic Liquid Crystals
Silvia Paparini, Epifanio G. Virga
The ground state of chromonic liquid crystals, as revealed by a number of recent experiments, is quite different from that of ordinary nematic liquid crystals: it is twisted instea…
