Shear-induced isotropic to nematic transition of liquid-crystal polymers : identification of gap thickness and slipping effects

The shear-induced isotropic-nematic transition is a generic property of liquid-crystalline polymer melts which is identified by the emergence in the isotropic phase of a strong birefringence above a critical shear rate. Although spectacular, this transition cannot be explained on the basis of a conv...
