Abstract
Using an iterative solution to the Onsager integral equation for the orientational distribution function of spherocylinders in the nematic liquid crystal phase, we have studied several aspects of the Onsager theory of nematic ordering. We find that the isotropic–nematic coexistence region becomes narrower as the ionic strength of the solution decreases. We also calculate the curvature elastic constants and the nematodynamic viscosities of the nematic phase as a function of particle concentration. The results are compared to experimental data.
