β¦ Synopsis
Abstraet--Thermotropic liquid crystalline polycarbonate-graft-polystyrene copolymers were synthesized by the macromonomer method using melt polycondensation of a mixture of 6,6'-(4,4'-biphenylylenedioxy)dihexanol and styrene macromonomer with hexylene diphenyl dicarbonate taken in a definite molar ralio. The graft copolymers were characterized by FT-i.r spectra and elemental analysis. Their liquid crystallinites were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and polarizing microscopy using a hot stage. Some of the products, except for polymers rich in styrene macromonomer, showed liquid crystallinites arising from the parent homopolycarbonate and had microphase-separated structures.
