SYNTHESIS OF SIDE-CHAIN LIQUID CRYSTALLINE POLYMERS BY POLYCONDENSATION+

A series of side-chain liquid crystalline polymers were prepared by polycondensation of the glycidyl ether derivatives of mesomorphic compounds with an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid or anhydride. The polymers were characterized by IR.1H NMR,their liquid crystalline properties were investigatod by DSC and porarized optical microscope.
