A new side chain liquid crystalline polymer based on the backbone of polymethacrylate containing triphenyl which was connected with ester bond as side chain mesogenic moiety
and its flexible spacer was two methylenes was prepared.FT-IR
1H-NMR
POM with hot stage
DSC and WAXD were used to study the structure
phase behavior and mesophase texture of this polymer and monomer.The monomer shows nematic and semectic phases and the polymer is nematic over a wide temperature range. The solidification-induced band texture can be observted in nematic phase of the side chain liquid crystalline polymer.
