Abstract
We have investigated the new types of the continuous isotropic(I)-nematic(N) phase transition originated from the shape transformation of micelles from sphere to rod in extremely dilute concentration region(3~9wt%). In this paper, we measure the response time of the flow birefringence dependent on the AC flow field and discuss the origin and dynamics of the flow induced birefringence. The flow birefringence is 3-order slower than the relaxation time of the order parameter fluctuation in the isotropic phase near I-N transition point.
