โฆ Synopsis
Processing of a nemafic HBA/HNA polymer melt increases the capillary diameter dependence of the viscosity and induces structural changes which are evident in oscillatory shear, but cannot be characterized by DSC. The effect of 6-~tm calcium carbonate particulate fillers is to increase the viscosity uniformly. Low concentrations of sub-micron carbon black particles cause an unexplained viscosity minimum in a large (30-rail) capillary.

The pressures exerted by a polymer chain on the walls of an anisotropic confinement are anisotropic (Doi and Edwards [10]). At deformation rates larger than the inverse Rouse time of the polymer chain, chains are stretched and their confining tubes become increasingly anisotropic. In a tube model wi
