Abstract
Transient stress responses to sinusoidal electric fields with frequenc ies lower than 1 Hz were reported for an anisotropic solution of poly (gamma-benzyl-L-glutamate). An enormous increase in stress with hyster esis was found at higher frequencies of the electric fields, while the smaller increase in stress with no hysteresis was found at the lowest frequency. These results are unexplained by the electrohydrodynamic i nstability.
