ABSTRACTAnalysis of the nonlinear dynamical response of a rod-like nematic liquid crystalline polymer, between parallel untreate plates, in a magnetic field is presented. Numerical solutions to the torque balance equations showthat when a uniformly aligned polymer is acted by a magnetic field normal to the initial polymer orientation an array of inversion walls develops. Stability analysis shows that the inversion walls are unstable to localized perturbations. The nonlinear resolution ofthe instability leads to the nucleation of an array of disclination line pairs of strength ±1/2. A perturbation analysis is used to obtain the evolution of the polymer structure towards equilibrium

Strength And Stiffness

Liquid crystalline polymers (solutions or melts) can be spun into fibers and films that have a higher axial strength and stiffness than conventionally processed polymers. These superior properties are due to the spontaneous molecular extension and alignment that is characteristic of liquid crystalline phases. Much of the effort in processing conventional polymers goes into extending and aligning the chains, while, in liquid crystalline polymer processing, the primary microstructural rearrangement involves converting local molecular alignment into global molecular alignment. Unfortunately, the global alignment introduced by processing relaxes quickly upon cessation of shear, and the molecular orientation develops a periodic misalignment relative to the shear direction. The axial strength and stiffness are reduced by this relaxation.Clearly there is a need to solidify the liquid crystalline state (i.e. remove heat or solvent) before significant relaxation occurs. Several researchers have observed this relaxation, mainly in solutions of hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) because they are lyotropic under ambient conditions.
