Abstract
- The effect of a polymer network on the alignment and rotational viscosity of a nematic liquid crystal was investigated. The results showed that the application of a field destroyed the uniform alignment induced by a monodomain network. The mesh size of the network was estimated at one micrometer, smaller than the magnetic field of the solvent. In addition, the diamagnetic anisotropies of the aligned samples were not affected by the polymer.
