Evidence of Wormlike Micellar Behavior in Chromonic Liquid Crystals: Rheological, X-ray, and Dielectric Studies

We report rheological, X-ray, and dielectric investigations on a chromonic liquid-crystalline system formed by aqueous solutions of a food coloring agent, Sunset Yellow, in the absence and upon addition of salt. The salt-concentration dependence of the steady-state viscosity at low shear rates has a...
