Abstract	Lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals (LCLCs) are formed by linear stacks of disc-shaped molecular in water. Combined by weak, non-covalent forces, these aggregates are reversible, flexible and polydisperse. The self-assembly nature of the basic building units gives nematic LCLCs interesting physical properties, such as very small twist $K2 constant as compared with splayK1 and bendK3 constants, very large splayηsplay and twistηtwist viscosities, strong temperature dependence ofK1,η$
