## Abstract The rheological and thermal properties of composites of polystyrene (PS) and two liquid crystalline lowβmolecularβweight additives have been studied. Both additives act as plasticizers as evidenced by decreases in the glass transition and the melt viscosity. In addition both are miscibl
Rheological studies of liquid crystalline systems based on sodium decylsulphate are reported. It was verified that for low shear rates, disk-like (ND) micellar nematic mesophases show typical pseudo-plastic rheopectic behaviour, associated with a favourable orientation of anisometric micelles in the
