摘要：

The effect of anisotropic repulsive interactions on the isotropic-nematic phase transition of semiflexible polymers is studied by using the Onsager-type excluded-volume interaction. Exact, numerical solutions are obtained for the properties of the phase transition as functions of the flexibility of the polymers. The nematic ordering of different segments of the semiflexible polymers in the nematic state is also discussed.
