Nematic ordering of wormlike polymers

In this thesis, based on the Onsager excluded volume interaction model, two nematic ordering problems of wormlike (semiflexible) polymer are studied: one is to investigate the isotropic-nematic interface of polymers for three typical cases—the flexible one, the rigid-rod one and the interm...
