Polyester blends have been intensively studied both for industrial application and for
academic interest. Properties of these blends are related to their miscibility. It has been …

This paper reviews the literature of polymer blends containing low and high molar mass
liquid crystals. Low molar mass liquid crystals have been used as plasticizers for …

This textbook consists of six chapters. The first chapter highlights the concept of liquid
crystals, including chemical structure, phase classification, defect and texture, and …

▪ Abstract Recent progress in modeling and simulation of the flow of nematic liquid crystals is
presented. The Leslie-Ericksen (LE) theory has been successful in elucidating the flow of …

Presenting practical information on new and conventional polymers and products as
alternative materials and end-use applications, this work details technological …

Binary (1: 1 by weight) and ternary (1: 1: 1 by weight) blends of polyethylene
terephthalate)(PET), poly (butylene terephthalate)(PBT), and Nylon 6 (PA 6) as well as the …

Monomer liquid crystals (MLCs), polymer liquid crystals (PLCs) and heterogeneous
composites are compared. PLCs are classified into categories in function of their molecular …

Blends of two thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers (TLCPs), with brittle and ductile matrix
materials were both injection molded and spun into fibers, in order to investigate the …

This chapter discusses the morphology development of immiscible binary polymer blends. It
first describes morphology development in droplet‐matrix structures, the dynamics of fibrillar …

The effect of deformation history on the morphology and properties of liquid crystalline
polymers (LCP) blended with polycarbonate resin was assessed. The addition of an …
