摘要
Phase separation of sequence-disordered liquid crystalline polymers, a promising class of technological and biological relevance, is studied by field theory, and thermodynamic mechanisms responsible for orientational ordering observed in experiments, are discussed. The theory developed predicts that chemical disorder marginally affects the nematic/isotropic biphasic coexistence width, but strongly impacts ordering; above a critical chemical disorder threshold orientational ordering is precluded.
