The structural changes that take place in simple liquids during extreme shear thinning and the subsequent start of shear thickening are elucidated by non-equilibrium molecular dynamics. Long-range order develops, which is character&d by linear lines of molecules spontaneously forming along the shear
We have measured the shear-induced rotation of the nematic director in a liquid crystalline polymer using poly benzyl glutamate (PBG) as model system. PBG is a well characterized synthetic poly (a amino acid) with rigid chain architecture and well defined conformations. For the experiments it is imp
