Phase Transformations in Chiral Non-racemic Main-chain Liquid Crystalline Polyesters Involving Double-twist Helical Crystals
It is for the first time the double-twisted helical single lamellar crystals were observed in a series of synthetic chiral non-racemic main-chain liquid crystalline polyesters. Phase structure and transition behaviors were investigated. Multiple liquid crystalline phases were found including the twisted grain boundary phase. During crystallization, the chain molecules kept their memory of the p...
متن کاملMain-chain smectic liquid-crystalline polymers as randomly disordered systems.
We report a high-resolution X-ray lineshape study of main-chain smectic polymers. The results indicate that the layer ordering differs fundamentally from the algebraic decay typical for other smectic liquid-crystalline systems. The lineshapes are best described by broad squared Lorentzians indicating some form of short-range correlations. However, several higher harmonics are observed, which ex...
متن کاملDehydration of main-chain amides in the final folding step of single-chain monellin revealed by time-resolved infrared spectroscopy.
Kinetic IR spectroscopy was used to reveal beta-sheet formation and water expulsion in the folding of single-chain monellin (SMN) composed of a five-stranded beta-sheet and an alpha-helix. The time-resolved IR spectra between 100 mus and 10 s were analyzed based on two consecutive intermediates, I(1) and I(2), appearing within 100 mus and with a time constant of approximately 100 ms, respective...
متن کاملOrder and strain in main-chain smectic liquid-crystalline polymers and elastomers.
The layer correlations in main-chain smectic liquid-crystal polymer and elastomer systems have been studied using high-resolution X-ray scattering. In contrast to side-chain smectic polymers, in main-chain systems the polymer chains are oriented parallel to the layer normal. As a result they couple directly to the lamellar structure and any polymer defect is translated into layer distortions. F...
متن کاملConformation of liquid crystal side chain polymers in the smectic phase : models for anisotropic random walks
2014 Three models are proposed in order to explain the observed temperature dependent anisotropy of the radii of gyration of liquid crystal side chain polymers in the smectic phase. In these models it is assumed that the conformation of the backbone in the planes between the smectic lamellae can be described by a random walk, by a self-avoiding walk, or by a straight path respectively. In each ...
