摘要:
A mean field theory for cholesteric polymers based on the elastic model is presented. The effect of flexibility and the biaxial order and nematic order parameters are studied. The biaxial order and nematic order parameters are increasing functions of chirality and vary slightly with flexibility. Biaxiality is shown to be important for the transition temperature and the cholesteric pitch as well as the latent heat of transition.
