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
## Abstract Transient stresses of liquid crystalline polymers appear as damped oscillatory patterns after the start‐up of shear flow. They are examined by using the constitutive equations which were modified to include the idea of an initial domain state in the Larson‐Doi polydomain equation set. I
