Using the grain boundary method and from the shape at equilibrium of liquid inclusions, we measured the surface tension and the Wulff plot of the hexagonal-isotropic interface of the lyotropic mixture C$_{12}$EO$_6+$ water and of the discotic liquid crystal C8HET. We also obtained the energy curve of the symmetric walls of the two systems as a function of the misfit angle of the columns. From their analysis we derive the product $KB$ of the elastic constants of curvature of an isolated column and of compressibility of the hexagonal array. Having measured $B$ mechanically, we then deduce a static estimate of $K$. In both systems, we find values of $K$ that are compatible with X-ray data.A l'aide de la méthode du joint de grain et en étudiant...
