摘要
We extend the liquid-state theory of polymer fluids to include anisotropy as a key feature. The formalism is quite general. In determining the structure of anisotropic polymer fluids, it yields thermodynamic information as well. Our first application is to describe the nematic phases of flexible polymers, and to demonstrate a novel lyotropic transition. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0021-9606(99)52414-8].
