Effect of Electric Fields on the Rheological Properties of the Isotropic Phase of phic/p-Xylene Solutions

The effect of high ac electric fields upon a liquid crystalline polymer solution, poly(n-hexyl isocyanate) in p-xylene, is examined. The results show that the solutions exhibit an increase in rheological properties proportional to the strength of the field at concentrations well below those exhibiti...
