The formation of molecular order in polymer systems during flow is of particular scientific and commercial interest. Studies have been performed with different methods like rheo-optics, mechanical measurements, neutron scattering and x-ray scattering. Cellulose derivatives are of industrial interest because they are comparatively cheap and biodegradable. Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) is a thermotropic and a lyotropic polymer, both of which have been studied by our group. In this work we have used time resolving x-ray diffraction to study the development of macroscopic orientation during flow.
