Extract

The ability to prcbe the structure of a polymer during deformation is of considerable technological interest as it lends an insight into the mechanisms involved in polymer processing. The behaviour of Liquid Crystalline Polymers (LCP's) during shear flow has generated much experimental interest by virtue of their unusual behaviour compared to that of simpler polymeric melts. The theory developed by Doi attempts to explain the observed phenomena in terms of considering interactions of rigid-rods Exact solutions to the Doi theory have been compared to experimental procedures using lyotropic LCP systems. Although much of the available data relates to mechanical measurements, the comparisons with quantitative structural data can provide useful insight.
