What is the discotics for the thermotropic liquid crystals that is the lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals (LCLCs) for the lyotropic materials. LCLC molecules are plank-like rather than rod-like, rigid rather than flexible, aromatic rather than aliphatic. Typical LCLC molecules and their aggregation in... 

According to Lydon, aggregation of LCLC molecules is a "steady, progressive build-up of chromonic aggregates where the addition of a molecule to a stack is always associated with the same increment of free energy." On...

Since very little is known about LCLC structures and properties, the recognition of these materials is not widespread. However, as one of the pioneers in the field, J. Lydon, writes "A single commercial application, however, could change this picture overnight. The liquid crystal literature will be as full of chromonic studies as it now is with ferroelectric chevron structures. Watch this space."...
