Abstract
► The Leslie-Ericksen coefficients of thermotropic nematics are determined. ► The calculations are based on a new approach of nonequilibrium statistical physics. ► Effect of shear flow on the Isotropic-Nematic transition is studied. ► Shear flow affects temperatures of the I-N and N-I transitions.
