Theory and simulation of thermodynamics and flow induced order in carbonaceous mesophase binary mixtures

Carbonaceous mesophases (CMs) obtained from petroleum pitches and naphthalene precursors are mixtures of discotic nematic liquid crystals (DNLCs) employed to produce high performance carbon fibers (CFs). Natural pitches are usually polydisperse while synthetic ones are currently produced with very n...
