Liquid Crystalline Polymers In Nematic Solvents
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 February 2011
Abstract
We present a theoretical study of liquid crystalline polymers in nematic solvents. We focus on the following topics: (i) Rod-like chains confined between plates, (ii) Flexible chains in a slit (iii) Nematic brushes and double-brushes (iv) Anchoring transitions. Confined and grafted chains in nematic solvents can exhibit a variety of interesting effects, including quasi-piezoelectricity and a lowering of the critical voltage for the Fréedericksz transition.
