Abstract
It is shown that of the two prominent theories of liquid crystals, the Micropolar theory is more general than the Director theory. Under special assumptions, for liquid crystals having rigid rod-like molecular elements, the Micropolar theory reduces to the Director theory. The relationship between the two theories is established fully. An assessment is made of the limitations of both theories and on their domain of applicability.
