摘要：
The effective splay-bend elastic constant Ids is studied by means of an optical technique for a lyotropic nematic liquid crystal. The ratio between Ids and the usual Frank elastic constant found in this experiment is positive and of the order of 1. This result agrees with the one obtained recently for thermotropic liquid crystals.
