The rheology and structure of thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers in extensional flow

The transient shear and elongational flow behavior of HPC EF, G, and HBA/HNA (Vectra A900) have been measured in order to determine the behavior of liquid crystalline polymer systems and to establish whether this behavior is different from that for isotropic flexible-chain polymer melts and isotropi...
