    • The radii of gyration parallel and perpendicular to the director are obtained from macroscopically aligned samples by using a two-dimensional detection method.1989, Christine Boeffel, Hans Wolfgang Spiess, “8: NMR methods for studying molecular order and motion in liquid crystalline side group polymers”, in C. B. McArdle, editor, Side Chain Liquid Crystal...
