Statistical mechanics of nematic polymers
In this work I model the liquid crystal polymers as worms and explore the Spheroidal approach to examine their statistical mechanics. Several models are presented in this work to describe main chain-, side chain-polymers, polymer networks and gels in their nematic state. In the case of main chain ne...
