Rheological Properties and Shear Induced Texture Development of Thermotopic Liquid Crystalline Polymer Melts

The flow behavior of two commercial liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs), trade name Vectra B 950 and Vectra L 950 supplied by Ticona, was investigated using a capillary rheometer with a special double slit die. The pressure drops in convergent and divergent wedge passage between the two slit sections...
