Demixing by a Nematic Mean Field: Coarse-Grained Simulations of Liquid Crystalline Polymers
Liquid crystalline polymers exhibit a particular richness of behaviors that stems from their rigidity and their macromolecular nature. On the one hand, the orientational interaction between liquid-crystalline motifs promotes their alignment, thereby leading to the emergence of nematic phases. On the...
