论文摘要
染色性液体晶体构成了一种新型的溶作阶段，迄今为止，其弹性特性是在经典的Oseen-Frank理论中建模的。本文表明，这种矛盾的后果源于对这些材料的液滴的侵犯，被各向同性液包围。例如，锚定的归化平面的触觉只是无限期地在无数较小的触觉中分解。
Chromonic liquid crystals constitute a novel lyotropic phase, whose elastic properties have so far been modeled within the classical Oseen-Frank theory, provided that the twist constant is assumed to be considerably smaller than the saddle-splay constant, in violation of one Ericksen inequality. This paper shows that paradoxical consequences follow from such a violation for droplets of these materials surrounded by an isotropic fluid. For example, tactoids with a degenerate planar anchoring simply disintegrate indefinitely in myriads of smaller ones.
