A dynamic Monte Carlo (MC) simulation is performed to investigate the phase behavior of mixtures of flexible polymers and low molecular weight thermotropic liquid crystals (LCs). The polymer is represented by three-dimensional self-avoiding lattice chains, while the LC is described by the Lebwohl-La

Phase separation experiments have been performed on mixtures of colloidal polyisobutene grafted boehmite rods and flexible polymers. Two systems of rods have been studied, one with an average length and diameter of \(71 \mathrm{~nm}\) and \(11.1 \mathrm{~nm}\), and the other with an average length a
In this paper, the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau model for mixtures containing nematogens has been applied to mixtures of low molecular weight liquid crystals and flexible polymers. Dynamic equations for the time evolution of concentration and orientation fluctuations and the structure factors for
An experimental study of the phase morphology and miscibility of binary blends of polyarylethersulfone (PES) and a liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) ofp-oxybenzoate and ethylene terephthalate units in a 60/40 molar ratio (PET-60PHB) is described. Blends were prepared by solution coprecipitated and co
