2. Lyotropic liquid crystal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyotropic_liquid_crystal

   A highly viscous cubic phase gel made of polysorbate 80, water, and liquid paraffin. Lyotropic liquid crystals result when amphiphiles, which are both hydrophobic and hydrophilic, dissolve into a solution that behaves both like a liquid and a solid crystal. This liquid crystalline mesophase includes everyday mixtures like soap and water. [1] [2]

3. Differential scanning calorimetry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_scanning...

   DSC is used in the study of liquid crystals. As some forms of matter go from solid to liquid they go through a third state, which displays properties of both phases. This anisotropic liquid is known as a liquid crystalline or mesomorphous state.

4. Dog food - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_food

   Some dog food products differentiate themselves as grain- or carbohydrate-free to offer the consumer an alternative, claiming carbohydrates in pet foods to be fillers with little or no nutritional value. A study published in Nature suggests that domestic dogs' ability to easily metabolize carbohydrates may be a key difference between wolves and ...

5. Discotic liquid crystal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discotic_liquid_crystal

   Discotic liquid crystals are mesophases formed from disc-shaped molecules known as "discotic mesogens". These phases are often also referred to as columnar phases . Discotic mesogens are typically composed of an aromatic core surrounded by flexible alkyl chains.

6. Trisodium phosphate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trisodium_phosphate

   TSP is used as a cleaning agent, builder, lubricant, food additive, stain remover, and degreaser. [7] As an item of commerce TSP is often partially hydrated and may range from anhydrous Na 3 PO 4 to the dodecahydrate Na 3 PO 4 ·12H 2 O. Most often it is found in white powder form. It can also be called trisodium orthophosphate or simply sodium ...

7. Superabsorbent polymer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superabsorbent_polymer

   Superabsorbent polymer: Polymer that can absorb and retain extremely large amounts of a liquid relative to its own mass. [5] Notes: The liquid absorbed can be water or an organic liquid. The swelling ratio of a superabsorbent polymer can reach the order of 1000:1. Superabsorbent polymers for water are frequently polyelectrolytes.
