Adjective [English]

Audio: LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-lyotropic.wav
Etymology: From lyo- + -tropic, c. 1910, presumably borrowed from German, or by analogy with earlier lyo- terms such as lyophilic or lyophilization (1894). From Ancient Greek λύω (lúō, “to loosen, to dissolve”) + τροπικός (tropikós, “of or pertaining to a turn or change; or the solstice; or a trope or figure; tropic; tropical; etc.”), from τροπή (tropḗ, “turn; solstice; trope”). Etymology templates: {{confix|en|lyo|tropic}} lyo- + -tropic, {{uder|en|de|-}} German, {{uder|en|grc|λύω||to loosen, to dissolve}} Ancient Greek λύω (lúō, “to loosen, to dissolve”) Head templates: {{en-adj|-}} lyotropic (not comparable)
  1. (chemistry, physics) describing a liquid crystal that exhibits phase transitions as a function of concentration Wikipedia link: lyotropic Tags: not-comparable Categories (topical): Chemistry, Physics
