Rheology of Lyotropic Lamellar Phases

摘要: The rheological behaviour of lyotropic lamellar phases is studied as a function the membrane repeating distance. steady-state rheology described consequence so-called orientation diagram previously. Three distinct regions different orientations are described, which separated by two out-of-equilibrium transitions. We show that these transitions can be either discontinuous (subcritical) or continuous. In one transitions, go continuously from regime to other through bifurcation point.
