β¦ Synopsis
The synthesis, characterization, and applications of liquid-crystalline polymers are emerging areas of scientific research. Lyotropic and thermotropic mesomorphic polymers are briefly reviewed, and the spectroscopic properties of solutes in liquidcrystal polymer hosts are discussed. The results of some photochemical investigations in ordered systems are described. Potential uses of liquid-crystal polymers are given.
