CONTENTS NOTE
Text of Note
Introduction to liquid crystal polymers. Theoretical aspects of the flow of liquid crystal polymers. Hamiltonian modelling of liquid crystal polymers and blends. Rheology and processing of liquid crystal polymer melts. Rheological and relaxation behaviour of filled LC-thermoplastics and their blends. The morphology and rheology of liquid crystal polymer blends. Processing of liquid crystal polymers and blends. Time-dependent effects in lyotropic systems. Processing and properties of rigid rod polymers and their molecular composites.
SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book explains the principles underlying the flow of liquid crystal polymers and of blends involving these materials, and how the rheological properties influence processing behaviour. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with rheology, but not with liquid crystalline polymers. It is written by an international group of authors.
