Isotropic-nematic transition in liquid-crystalline elastomers.
In liquid-crystalline elastomers, the nematic order parameter and the induced strain vary smoothly across the isotropic-nematic transition, without the expected first-order discontinuity. To investigate this smooth variation, we measure the strain as a function of temperature over a range of applied stress, for elastomers cross-linked in the nematic and isotropic phases, and analyze the results...
متن کاملA Kinetic Theory for Solutions of Nonhomogeneous Nematic Liquid Crystalline Polymers With Density Variations
The kinetic theory developed in [1] for solutions of nonhomogeneous nematic liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) of spheroidal molecular configurations is extended to account for the translational diffusion and the related spatial density variation. The new theory augments the effect of the density variation to the intermolecular potential, Smoluchowski equation and the elastic stress. It account...
متن کاملA hydrodynamic theory for solutions of nonhomogeneous nematic liquid crystalline polymers with density variations
1 I n t r o d u c t i o n Liquid crystals of variety of molecular configurations may form the nematic phase, in which an orientational order, but no translational order, exists [1, 2]. These include the two drastically different configurations: rodlike and discotic liquid crystals. Most of the hydrodynan~ical theories formulated for liquid crystal materials are based on the rodlike molecules, w...
متن کاملCommunications: Short-range dynamics of a nematic liquid-crystalline phase.
Using x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy, we studied the dynamics in the nematic phase of a nanorod suspension. The collective diffusion coefficient in the plane perpendicular to the director varies sharply with the wave vector. Combining the structure factor and the diffusion coefficient, we find that the hydrodynamic function of the phase decreases by more than a factor of 10 when going fr...
متن کاملTheory of liquid crystalline micelles.
A theory is introduced to describe self-assembly of liquid crystalline AB diblock copolymers, consisting of a homopolymer (A) and a side-chain liquid crystalline polymer (B). We derive the free energy of the liquid crystalline micellar solutions and examine the equilibrium solution properties: critical micelle concentration (CMC), nematic-isotropic phase transition (NIT) of the rigid side-chain...
