lyotropic
Definitions
describing a liquid crystal that exhibits phase transitions as a function of concentration
not-comparable
Examples
““We can however say⟳ that, with electrolytes, the effects are always lyotropic. Sulphates, tartrates, etc., raise⟳ the point⟳ of solidification, decrease the period of solidification, and increase⟳ the rate of change⟳ of the viscosity with the time. They therefore help⟳ the solidification.””
“It is interesting to note⟳ that sulphates head one of Freundlich’s lyotropic series; but I fear that this is merely a coincidence.”
