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 In the selfβconsistent field approximation a theory of the orientational ordering is developed for the melt of dimers containing two mesogenic fragments capable of conformational reorganization. Discrete conformations of the dimers (rotational isomers) are characterized by the values of
