Modelling elasticity and memory effects in liquid crystalline elastomers by molecular dynamics simulations
We performed molecular dynamics simulations of a liquid crystal elastomer of side-chain architecture. The network is formed from a melt of 28 molecules each having a backbone of 100 hydrocarbon monomers, to which 50 side chains are attached in a syndiotactic way. Crosslinking is performed in the smectic A phase. We observe an increase of the smectic–isotropic phase transition temperature of abo...
متن کاملNonuniversality in the pinch-off of yield stress fluids: role of nonlocal rheology.
The pinch-off behavior of yield stress fluids is investigated using droplet and liquid-bridge breakup experiments. Contrary to expectations, the neck thinning behavior depends strongly on the way the breakup experiment is carried out. This nonuniversal behavior can be explained through an analysis of the thinning dynamics as well as the shapes of the fluid necks. Recent nonlocal models for the ...

متن کاملObservation of the smectic-C-smectic-I critical point.
We report the first observation of the smectic C–smectic I (C–I) critical point by Xray diffraction studies on a binary system. This is in confirmity with the theoretical idea of Nelson and Halperin that coupling to the molecular tilt should induce hexatic order even in the C phase and as such both C and I (a tilted hexatic phase) should have the same symmetry. The results provide evidence in s...
متن کاملOn the existence of a third-order phase transition beyond the Andrews critical point: a molecular dynamics study.
The possibility of the existence of a gas-liquid third order phase transition for fluids is becoming a subject of growing interest. Experimental work suggests its existence for specific systems while recent theoretical models claim its universality. In this work, we employ Molecular Dynamics and investigate the third-order phase transition beyond the Andrews critical point by treating a system ...
