Wide Stripe Texture of Liquid Crystalline Polymer after Cessation of Shear Flow

Textures called wide stripe textures (WSTs) emerge after cessation of a simple shear flow of liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs). The present study considered the WST in a 50 wt% aqueous solution of hydroxypropylcellulose and investigated the distance between stripes. A test fluid was sandwiched betw...
