Abstract

We present a theoretical model which describes a cooperative helixโ€“coil liquidโ€crystal phase transition. We show that this model predicts a firstโ€order phase transition where certain types of chainlike macromolecules in solution make a transition from a nearly coiled to a nearly rigid conformation accompanied by a simultaneous development of longโ€range nematicโ€type liquid crystalline orientational order. From this model, the phase boundaries between nematic and isotropic phases are obtained as functions of concentration of macromolecules and of other physical parameters.
