Abstract

For the ordered phases of the mesomorphous lubricant layer to be identified, a quantitative method based on the models of epitropic liquid crystal layers for an infinitely high and finite constant viscosity has been developed. A polarizing tribometer was used for the experimental verification of the theoretical results. The experimental approach is based on the measurement of plane-polarized laser light transmitted through the lubricating layer under the steady-state shear-flow conditions.
