Domain structures in magnetically orientated liquid crystalline polymers

The microstructure of a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer orientated in a magnetic field is observed to consist of tessellated domains of high alignment bounded by inversion walls. The presence of these walls limits the degree of global orientation achievable with a given field strength, and l...
