Abstract
This article investigated the effect of shear strain on the nematic itraconazole (ITR) from both elastic and plastic deformation regions. The rheo-dielectric technique was used for this purpose. It has been demonstrated that shear strain can change the sample color, liquid crystal alignment as well as its dielectric and thermal properties. The observed modifications depend on the shear strain value. One can distinguish four regions regarding the slope of ITR stress–strain dependence and caused changes. Proper alignment changes (obtained after the shearing procedure) can additionally affect the further recrystallization of ITR to other than the initial, i.e., second polymorphic form.
