β¦ Synopsis
Main-chain liquid-crystalline polymers containing triad aromatic ester mesogenic blocks together with flexible ion-complexing oligo-oxyethylene blocks have been synthesized. A range of polyoxyethylene precursor polymers was employed with two different triad units to produce mechanically robust polymers exhibiting liquid-crystalline behaviour in the general range loO-200Β°C. Films were formed consisting of complexes with lithium trifluoromethane sulphonate. Useful ionic conductivities were obtained.

An experimental study of the phase morphology and miscibility of binary blends of polyarylethersulfone (PES) and a liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) ofp-oxybenzoate and ethylene terephthalate units in a 60/40 molar ratio (PET-60PHB) is described. Blends were prepared by solution coprecipitated and co
It is shown by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements that lightly sulfonated polystyrene (SPS) is partially miscible with polysulfone (PSF), polycarbonate (PC), polyetherimide (PEI), and a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (LCP). Fourier transform infrared analysis confirms that
