Description
The mixture of the flexible polymer with the carbon nanotubes has been addressed. The conditions is investigated affecting the orientational order formation in carbon nanotubes immersed in the flexible polymer. It is shown that long carbon nanotubes exhibit liquid crystalline order formation at the different values of the Flory-Huggins parameter.
