Crack Formation and Propagation in Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Polymer Liquid Crystals

In recent papers we have used statistical mechanics to predict multiple phase formation in polymer liquid crystals (PLCs). [1,2] Now we have performed molecular dynamics simulations of PLC copolymers as materials consisting of LC islands in flexible matrices. A method for creating such materials on...
