Rheology of Liquid‐Crystalline Polymeric Systems

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

Based on the Zubarev method of nonequilibrium distribution functions, a statistical‐mechanical theory of the rheological properties of liquid‐crystalline polymers has been constructed. The distinctive features of the media in question in the case of shear flow have been described using this theory.
