Abstract
Concentrated aqueous solutions of hydroxypropyl cellulose form lyotropic mesophases displaying a range of iridescent colors. Evidence from light microscopy and optical rotatory dispersion suggests that the mesophase has helicoidal structure, resembling in some respects that of cholesteric liquid crystals.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
