In this review, we show that the structure and behavior of single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs)
are essentially polymeric; in fact, many have referred to SWNTs as “the ultimate polymer” …

This article reviews the following solution properties of liquid-crystalline stiff-chain
polymers:(1) osmotic pressure and osmotic compressibility,(2) phase behavior involving …

The transport properties and, specifically, the rheological behavior of real and complex
materials such as polysaccharide systems can be significantly affected by several factors …

The rheological behavior of two series of model suspensions containing the same glass
fibers in a Newtonian polybutene and in a Boger fluid has also been investigated. The …

Cone and plate rheological measurements have been performed on aqueous solutions of
hydroxypropylcellulose in the liquid crystalline phase. The time‐dependent experiments …

Liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) have recently become a very active research topic in
polymer science, both in view of possible applications and because they have represented a …

A microscopic theory for the viscoelastic behaviour of suspensions of rigid rods with
excluded volume interactions is presented, which is valid in the asymptotic limit of very long …

Liquid crystalline monomers can be oligomerized and subsequently 3-D printed to prepare
liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) with spatial variation of the nematic director to create …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) have been studied as nanostructured building blocks for
functional materials and function as a model nanomaterial mesogen for cholesteric (chiral …

We describe resultsof an experimental investigation into the orientation state of liquid
crystalline solutions of poly (benzyl glutamate) under shear flow and how the microscopic …
