✦ Synopsis

Side group liquid‐crystalline polymers (SG‐LCP) will need to be macroscopically oriented if the applications foreseen for them are to be realized. The first observation of oscillatory‐sheer‐induced alignment of an SG‐LCP melt (the Figure shows a schematic of the rheo‐optical apparatus used) is reported. This discovery widens the potential applications of SG‐LCPs, but also raises fundamental questions regarding the mechanism of flow‐induced alignment. magnified image

The phase and orientational behaviors of a series of liquid crystalline (LC) AB-type diblock copolymers comprising thermotropic main-chain (MC) polyester and side-group (SG) polymethacrylate blocks were investigated by X-ray diffraction. The MC and SG blocks were phase separated and gave rise to the

For the first time the flexible cyclopentyl ring is used to build mesogenic units, and thus a novel mesogen-jacketed liquid crystalline polymer (MJLCP) poly(dicyclopentyl vinylterephthalate) is synthesized. The polymer forms a stable mesophase which changes to an isotropic phase at 267 8C. The forma
