This work focus on the study of the optical and mechanical properties of Tapioca Starch/ H2O/ Triton X-100/ Aerosil®200 lyotropic liquid crystal(LLC). Polarize Optical Microscopy, Rheology and Small-and-Wide Angle X-ray Scattering method was used to determined the properties of the LLC. Fifty three...
