Abstract
We have dissolved short polymer chains (M = 2.103 and 8.103) of poly-ethylen-oxide in the nematic phase of para-azoxy-anisol. On these solutions we measured the twist viscosity γ1. We find an increase of γ1 with the polymer content, correlated to the anisotropy of the polymer chain.Keywords
