What is Mathematical Modeling and Computer Simulations of the Flow, Nematic Phase Orientation, and Heat Transfer in Thermotropic Liquid Crystalline Polymers about?
## Abstract This study includes a mathematical analysis and computer simulations of the injection molding of thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs). The particular area of interest is the modeling and numerical evaluation of the orientation of the rigid rods in the nematic phase of LCPs during the filling stage of injection molding. The model is based on a continuum mechanics approach in order to derive the orientation distribution function of rigid rods for different orientation angles. Numerical distributions of average orientation factors are also derived. Computer simulations have been conducted in case studies that investigate the effects of changes in the processing conditions.
