## New thermotropic, liquid crystalline polymers were synthesized, and their thermal properties and the characteristics of their mesophases were studied by differential scanning calorimetry, by use of a hot stage on a polarizing microscope, and by small-angle light scattering. The polymers had an

## Abstract **Summary:** Anisotropy in molecular motions of a glassy smectic CA (SmCA) liquid crystal of a main‐chain BB‐5(3‐Me) polyester was examined by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) for fibrous monodomain samples with two distinct orientations of smectic layers perpendicular and parallel to
Semiflexible thermotropic liquid crystalline (TLC) polyesters with a mesogenic unit of 4,4'-diphenoxy terephthalate and two flexible spacers of decamethylene and hexamethylene were synthesized changing the ratio of two aliphatic units in a main chain. Those random copolyesters had the following sche
We have prepared main-chain liquid crystalline copolyesters made from biphenyldicarboxylic acid as a mesogenic component and a certain mixture of 2-methylbutanediol and hexanediol as spacer components. These copolymers exhibit the novel polymorphism with the smectic A as a higher temperature mesopha
