We have calculated tile rotational viscosity (γ_1) of nematic liquid crystal materials using an atomistic-level molecular dynamics simulation. Several PCH-based LCs with different side chain length and different polar endgroup are selected, and their γ_1 values have been calculated and compared with experimental values, either by magnetic field rotation method or transient current method. A very good correlation is found between them, in the absolute value as welt as relative relationship.
