Nematic elastomers: The influence of external mechanical stress on the liquid‐crystalline phase behavior
Abstract
The influence of external mechanical stress on the nematic‐isotropic phase transformation of nematic elastomers was investigated. The experimental results of IR‐dichroism measurements in the nematic phase and stress‐optical measurements in the isotropic phase are in good agreement with the theoretical predicitions of the phenomenological Landau‐de Gennes theory. This is for the first time that a significant influence of an external field on the nematic‐isotropic phase transformation temperature and on the nematic order parameter S has been proved.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
