Rodlike polymers are investigated in the nematic liquid-crystalline phase. The polymers' irregular dynamical response is analyzed under pure shear flows. A rheological model of the polymers is studied with a continuation approach, while a period doubling scenario is detected.

Abstract
Rodlike polymers are investigated in the nematic liquid-crystalline phase. The polymers' irregular dynamical response is analyzed under pure shear flows. A rheological model of the polymers is studied with a continuation approach, while a period doubling scenario is detected.
