The morphology of liquid crystalline polymers and their blends

Nematic liquid crystals polymers (LCPs) encompass a large class of macromolecules exhibiting orientational order when in the melt or solution state. The intrinsic local orientation of these materials yields processing advantages due to lower viscosities than related isotropic (flexible coil) polymer...
