Abstract
Studying the microstructure of complex materials is one of the most interesting problems in modern applied mathematics and statistical mechanics. A paradigmatic case is represented by nematic liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs). Nematic liquid crystal elastomers are a class of materials which associate a liquid crystalline microstructure composed of rigid rod-like molecules (nematic mesogens) with an elastic continuum matrix made of crosslinked polymeric chains...File in questo prodotto:
