Liquid Crystalline Acrylates and Their Polymers

چکیده
In previous papers (1,2) the thermotropic properties and the kinetics of the bulk polymerization of the mesomorphic monomer cholesteryl acrylate have been described. In addition to cholesteryl acrylate, the methacrylate was prepared, as well as the respective acrylic methacrylic acid ester of cholestanol. We now wish to report the properties of these monomeric esters and the results of their polymerization.

Liquid Crystalline Properties of Some Monomeric Azo- and Azoxybenzenes and Their Polymers
-We have studied the mesomorphism of p-acryloyland p-methacryloy1-oxy-p'substituted azoand azoxybenzenes. Polymers, obtained by free radical polymerization of these compounds in solution, give anisotropic melts at T,. According tox-ray diffraction data the polymers are characterized by a smectic structure. There is no correlation between the thermal behaviour of monomers and polymers. The optic...
متن کاملControl of anchoring of nematic fluids at polymer surfaces created by in situ photopolymerization.
In situ photopolymerization of alkyl acrylate monomers in the presence of a nematic fluid provides a cellular matrix of liquid crystalline droplets in which the chemical structure of the encapsulating polymer exerts control over the alignment (anchoring) of the liquid crystalline molecules. Control is obtained by variation of the alkyl side chains and through copolymerization of two dissimilar ...
متن کاملSynthesis of a photoresponsive liquid-crystalline polymer containing azobenzene.
The synthesis of an oriented liquid-crystalline photoresponsive polymer, prepared by polymerization of mono- and di-acrylates, both of which contain azobenzene chromophores, is reported. The prepared free-standing polymer film shows strong reversible photoinduced deformation upon exposure to unpolarized UV light at 366 nm, as a result of an optically induced isomeric change of the azobenzene mo...
متن کاملRelaxation Dynamics of Poly(methyl acrylate) at Elevated Pressure
A fascinating aspect of the dynamics of supercooled liquids and polymers is the degree to which the reorientational or segmental relaxation time, τR, governs various properties. 1,2 For example, the shape of the relaxation peak, commonly reflected in the Kohlrausch stretch exponent, the state points associated with the dynamic crossover, and the dynamic correlation volume for many glass formers...
متن کاملA facile synthetic route to novel thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers and characterization of their mesophases
A novel method for the synthesis of a new class of thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers has been developed: it proceeds via a polyaddition reaction involving diepoxy-containing mesogene groups and a monoamine (aniline). The reaction between the epoxy ring and the primary amine produces an intermediate containing a secondary amine which undergoes further reaction with an epoxy ring of anothe...
