Viscosity of a liquid crystalline polymer solution with a polydomain or a band texture
The viscosity of a main-chain liquid crystalline polymer (anisotropic aqueous solution of hydroxypropylcellulose) is measured in the case where the liquid crystalline polymer presents a band texture and is compared to the case of a polydomain texture.
