Rheology of liquid crystalline oligomers for 3-D printing of liquid crystalline elastomers
Abstract
A liquid crystalline oligomer displays time-dependent changes in viscosity when subjected to steady shear flow. Temperature and applied shear rate are shown to have an effect on this phenomenon which is relevant to Direct Ink Write printing.
