The phase transition behavior of both side chain monomer (AZO-C_6C_(11))and polymer (P-AZO-C_6C_(11))has been characterized via combination of hot-stage polarized microscope, DSC and X-ray diffraction methods (including temperature-variation and quenching techniques). As normal, the transition process included K→S→N→I. Some pretransition features have been observed.展开更多
