A new theory for liquid crystalline polymers is developed, and its behavior in simple shear flow is analyzed. The theory accounts for molecular flexibility by employing a microstructure consisting of two rigid rods linked by a joint with a tunable stiffness. The probability distribution function equ
## Abstract Nematic liquid crystals (NLCs), 4โcyanoโ4โฒโpentylbiphenyl and 4โcyanoโ4โฒโoctylbiphenyl, were applied as additives to polymer solar cells with P3HT:PC~61~BM blend films. The incorporation of NLC additives led to a higher absorbance of the blend film, a higher crystallinity of P3HT, close
