What a twist cell experiment tells about a quartic twist theory for chromonics
Silvia Paparini, Epifanio G. Virga
The elastic theory of chromonic liquid crystals is not completely established. We know, for example, that for anomalously low twist constants (needed for chromonics) the classical…

A geometric method to determine chromonics' planar anchoring strength
Silvia Paparini, Epifanio G. Virga
Chromonic nematics are lyotropic liquid crystals that have already been known for half a century, but have only recently raised interest for their potential applications in life sc…
