Phase Behavior of a V-Shaped Liquid Crystal/Polymer Mixture
摘要
Abstract
The phase behavior of mixtures of linear flexible polymers and V-shaped liquid crystals (LCs) is inspected using a combination of the Flory–Huggins (FH) theory of polymer solutions and the Landau–de Gennes theory of nematic ordering. The influence of the architecture of V-shaped molecules on the system’s phase diagrams is examined.
