The polymers used a disiloxane moiety as decoupling spacer with cyano-p-terphenyl as mesogenic unit. The products were characterized by NMR, GPC, DSC and polarizing optical microscopy. All the polymers with cyano-p-terphenyl mesogens formed a stable mesophase. However, if the mesogenic unit is replaced by cyano-p-biphenyl, the liquid crystalline character will be lost. The results also showed that the decoupling is incomplete even if a complex and very flexible decoupling spacer is deliberately incorporated to obtain the highest possible decoupling effect.展开更多

The mesogenic groups are derivatives of stilbene with cyano or nitro tail groups. The products were characterized by DSC, X-ray diffraction and polarizing optical microscopy (POM). All the polymers were found to have relatively low T-g and can form a smectic liquid crystal phase.展开更多
