Liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) have many strange properties that
may be utilized to advantage in the processing of products made
from them and their blends with isotropic polymers. This volume
(volume 2 in the series Polymer Liquid Crystals) deals with their
strange flow behaviour and the models put forward to explain the
phenomena that occur in such polymers and their blends. It has been
known for some time that small ad ditions of a thermotropic LCP to
isotropic polymers not only gives an improvement in the strength
and stiffness of the blend but improves the processability of the
blend over that of the isotropic polymer. In the case of lyotropic
LCPs, it is possible to create a molecular composite in which the
reinforcement of an isotropic polymer is achieved at a molecular
level by the addition of the LCP in a common solvent. If the
phenomena can be fully understood both the reinforcement and an
increase in the proces sability of isotropic polymers could be
optimized. This book is intended to illustrate the current theories
associated with the flow of LCPs and their blends in the hope that
such an optimization will be achieved by future research. Chapter 1
introduces the subject of LCPs and describes the ter minology used;
Chapter 2 then discusses the more complex phenomena associated with
these materials. In Chapter 3, the way in which these phe nomena
may be modelled using hamiltonians is fully covered."
