Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Phase diagrams for the isotropic-anisotropic phase transition in solutions of a thermotropic cellulose derivative, hydroxypropyl cellulose are presented. The effect of the molecular weight is demonstrated. A comparison to the theory of semi-rigid liquid crystalline polymers is given.
