Polymer Science Series C Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Behavior of the solution of a polymer capable of nematic ordering in a nematic solvent is considered. The systematic effect of the characteristics of individual components on the behavior of mixtures is investigated, and the main features of phase diagrams are studied.
