Apparent viscosity during viscometric flow of nematic liquid crystals
نویسنده
چکیده
2014 For a nematic in simple shear it has been shown that the asymptotic form of the apparent viscosity for large shearing force can be predicted. This prediction is obtained from two reasonable simplifying assumptions. It is shown here that the same form for the apparent viscosity is also valid for other viscometric flows, provided the appropriate measure of the shearing force is chosen. The results are in good agreement with experiments. LE JOURNAL DE PHYSIQUE TOME 40, MAI 1979, Classification Physics Abstracts 46.60 61.30

The physicochemical properties of solute in solutions provide valuable information on solute –solvent, solute – solute and solvent – solvent interactions. The intermolecular forces between theliquids molecules and solvent molecules affect the viscosity of the solution. Information regardinginter and intra molecular interactions can be obtained from volumetric, and viscometric data in asolute so...

متن کاملShort-Range Smectic Order in Bent-Core Nematic Liquid Crystals
Small angle X-ray diffraction from the uniaxial nematic phase of certain bent-core liquid crystals is shown to be consistent with the presence of molecular clusters possessing short-range tilted smectic (smectic-C) order. Persistence of these clusters throughout the nematic phase, and even into the isotropic state, likely accounts for the unusual macroscopic behavior previously reported in bent...
متن کاملInvestigation into the temperature dependence of isotropic- nematic phase transition of Gay- Berne liquid crystals
Density functional approach was used to study the isotropic- nematic (I-N) transition and calculate the values of freezing parameters of the Gay- Berne liquid crystal model. New direct and pair correlation functions of a molecular fluid with Gay- Berne pair potential were used. These new functions were used in density functional theory as input to calculate the isotropic- nematic transition den...
متن کاملLarge flow birefringence of nematogenic bent-core liquid crystals.
We have found that bent-core liquid crystalline materials show exceptionally large intrinsic flow birefringence in their isotropic liquid phase. This effect is more than 100 times larger than typical values measured for low molecular weight liquid crystals. The specific flow birefringence (i.e., normalized by the flow viscosity) is an order of magnitude larger than in both side-chain polymeric ...
