The nonlinear viscosity of the wormlike surfactant system cetyl pyridinium chloride/sodium
salicylate (60 mM/100 mM in water) has been investigated in both pipe and cylindrical …

Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) derivatives with alkanoyl side chains are known to form
thermotropic cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) with visible reflection. Although the widely …

The shear rate γ̇ min at the relative minimum in the N 1 flow curve is studied as a function
of temperature and concentration for liquid crystalline (hydroxypropyl) cellulose (HPC). For …

The viscosities of semiflexible polymers with different chain stiffnesses in shear flow are
studied via nonequilibrium molecular dynamics techniques. The simulation reproduces the …

Acetoxypropylcellulose is a thermotropic cellulose derivative which is cholesteric from below
room temperature up to 170° C. Its textures during and after shear flow were studied by …

The band texture occurs in lyotropic and thermotropic main-chain polymers after cessation of
flow. This paper begins with a review of work concerned with band texture formation …

The optical evolution of the band texture occurring in acetoxypropylcellulose thermotropic
polymer has been investigated as a function of temperature and primary shear rate. Two …

The rheological and structural characteristics of acetoxypropylcellulose (APC) nematic melt
are studied at shear rates ranging from 10 s− 1 to 1000 s− 1 which are relevant to extrusion …

Cellulose is a linear syndiotactic homopolymer composed of d-anhydroglucopyranose units
which are linked by β-(1→ 4)-glycosidic bonds. The primary and secondary free hydroxyl …

The combined analyses of pressure–volume–temperature tests and oscillatory flow
measurements for three thermotropic liquid crystalline cellulose derivatives, one …
