โฆ Synopsis
Photo-crosslinkable thermotropic liquid crystalline block copolyetheresters with photoreactive hard segment of poly(hexamethylene p-phenylenediacrylate) and soft segment of poly(tetramethylene ether) were synthesized by melt polycondensation from n-butyl-p-phenylenediacrylate, hexamethylene glycol, and poly(tetramethylene ether) glycol (PTMG, M n ร 1000-3000). The influence of molecular weight and composition of PTMG unit on the thermal behavior was determined by differential scanning calorimetry and polarized optical microscopy. All synthesized block copolymers show thermotropic liquid crystalline phase and can photo-crosslink by UV irradiation. Photoreaction of the copolymer thin film was carried out using Hg-UV light and investigated by FT-IR spectroscopy and a dynamic viscoelastic analyzer.
