Abstract
Computer simulations of the molecular motion of polymer chains in the presence of a strong nematic field were carried out by the method of B rownian dynamics. Two models were studied: the first model (linear liq uid crystal) is a freely jointed chain with rigid bonds, the second mo del (comb-like liquid crystal) is a chain with fixed bond angles and r igid side groups. The influence of ordering on chain conformations, or ientational and translational mobility and spectra of relaxation times was investigated.
