Chromonic liquid crystalline phases
TL;DR: Chromonic systems are lyotropic mesophases formed by soluble aromatic compounds as discussed by the authors, where the basic structural units in these systems are stacks of molecules (rather than individual molecules or micellar assemblies).

The structures of cholesteryl ester mesophases revealed by freeze-fracturing
John Lydon,David G. Robinson +1 more
TL;DR: The freeze-fractured surfaces of a number of cholesteryl ester samples were studied, and in general the fractured solid and smectic structures showed smooth surfaces, however, in one case a particulate texture was observed, resembling the “orangepeel” texture described by previous workers and ascribed by some of them to contamination.
