Abstract

Predictions of static and dynamic properties from a unified molecular statistical mechanics theory for complex fluids in static electric fields are summarized. Included are thermodynamic, molecular ordering, and transport properties. In this new theory, the effects of an electric field Ee on the dipole moments and bond polarizabilities of tile molecules have been added to an eaxlier successful theory for complex organic molecules in condensed phases. Included are liquid crystalline (LC) and polymeric systems (including the first interlocking polymers).
