| Abstract | : | The effect of magnetic fields on the swelling of liquid crystal elastomers (LCE) dissolved in liquid crystal (LC) solvent have been studied. The Flory-Huggins model used to calculate the free energy of an isotropic mixing and the Maier-Saupe model used to calculate the free energy of a nematic mixing. Numerical integration method used to calculate the orientational order parameter and the total free energy of system (consists of : nematic free energy, elastic free energy, isotropic mixing free energy and magnetic free energy) and the calculation results graphed as a function of temperatures for various magnetic fields and as function of magnetic fields for various of temperatures. We find that the magnetic field shifts the transition points towards higher temperatures, increases the energy transition, and induces an isotropic phase to paranematic phase. |
