Sponge Phase Under Shear
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
The L3 phase under shear transforms to a lamellar phase L*α above some critical shear rate. We study the sequence of successive states (rheothinning, flow birefringence, transition region, lamellar) with simultaneous rheooptical methods, in situ X-ray scattering, and light microscopy observations. The transition region is biphasic, and the two phases display epitaxial relationship immediately after shearing is ceased.
