Rheology and Mesoscale Morphology of Flows of Chlesteric and Nematic Liquid Crystal Polymers
Cholesteric liquid crystals(CLC) are mesophases, where the average direction of molecular orientation exhibits a chiral (twisted) pattern along its normal direction. In the past, the rheological and flow properties of CLC have been studied scarcely. This is due to the natural tendency of a cholester...
