Rheological Behavior of Thermotropic Main-Chain LCPs

Rheological Behavior of Thermotropic Main-Chain LCPs [Pg.406]

In this section, we present the rheological behaviors of TLCPs namely, (1) transient shear flow, (2) steady-state shear flow, (3) intermittent shear flow, (4) shear flow after the change in flow direction (reversal flow), and (5) variation of dynamic moduli after cessation of shear flow. We will show that some rheological behaviors of TLCPs are different from those observed for lyotropic LCPs. Experimental results will be interpreted, where appropriate, using the currently held theories presented in this chapter. [Pg.406]
