Non-symmetric viscoelasticity of anisotropic polymer liquids
The liquid crystalline (LC) polymers are considered as anisotropic viscoelastic liquids with nonsymmetric stresses. A simple constitutive equation for nematic polymers describing the coupled relaxation of symmetric and antisymmetric parts of the stress tensor is formulated. For illustration of non-symmetric anisotropic viscoelasticity, the simplest viscometric flows of polymeric nematics in the magnetic field are considered. The frequency and shear rate dependencies of extended set of Miesowicz viscosities are predicted.
