There would be no mobile phones without liquid crystals, no flat screen TVs or computer monitors, no virtual reality, just to name a few of the applications that have changed our whole world of vision and perception. All of these inventions are based on liquid crystals that are formed through a change in temperature, thermotropic LCs. However, there is another form of liquid crystals, described even earlier, yet much less talked about; the lyotropic liquid crystals that occur through the change of concentration of some molecules in a solvent. These are found in abundance in nature, making up the cell membranes, and are used extensively in the food, detergents and cosmetics industries. In this collection of articles by experts in their respective research areas, we bring together some of the most recent and innovative aspects of lyotropic liquid crystals, which we believe will drive future research and set novel trends in this field. 606 $aResearch and information: general$2bicssc 610 $aamphiphilic 610 $aapplication 610 $abiaxial nematic phase 610 $abiaxial nematic transition 610 $abragg reflection 610 $acellulose nanocrystals 610 $achiral nematic 610 $achirality 610 $acholesteric liquid crystals 610 $achromonic 610 $achromonics 610 $acoffee-ring effect 610 $acolloid 610 $acolloidal 610 $acolloidal suspensions 610 $acurved surface 610 $adiluted nematic systems 610 $aferroelectricity 610 $afield behavior 610 $agelation 610 $aglass formation 610 $agraphene oxide 610 $ahydration forces 610 $ahydrogen bonds 610 $ahydroxypropyl cellulose 610 $akinetic arrest 610 $aliquid crystal 610 $alyotropic 610 $alyotropic liquid crystal 610 $alyotropic liquid crystals 610 $aLyotropic liquid crystals 610 $amesogen 610 $amicelle 610 $ananomaterial 610 $anematic 610 $aphase behavior 610 $aphysico-chemical properties 610 $aPotts 610 $arods 610 $aSmC* phase 610 $astabilization of nematic phases 610 $astructure 610 $asurfactants 610 $auniaxial nematic phase 615 7$aResearch and information: general 700 $aDierking$b Ingo$4edt$01280937 702 $aMartins Figueiredo Neto$b Antonio$4edt 702 $aDierking$b Ingo$4oth 702 $aMartins Figueiredo Neto$b Antonio$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557380303321 996 $aNew Trends in Lyotropic Liquid Crystals$93038513 997 $aUNINA
