✦ Synopsis

Copolymers of the nematogenic monomer, p-(E-acryloyloxycaproyloxy)-p'-methoxyphenylbenzoate, with various cholesterol-containing monomers were synthesized. The copolymers were shown to form mesophases of the cholesteric type. The dependence of the selective reflection of light on copolymer composition was studied. The copolymers with low content of chiral groups form monochromic cholesteric mesophases, with the cholesteric helix pitch being independent of temperature; the helix for copolymers with high content of chiral groups increases its pitch with increase of temperature.

## Abstract **Summary:** Polyether network polymers with cholesteric superstructure are formed by the photochemically induced cationic copolymerisation of a nematic diepoxide with chiral epoxides. If a cholesteric superstructure is formed or not, depends on the temperature at which the photopolymer

Three series of the thermotropic liquid crystalline copoly(imide-ester)s were prepared by direct polycondensation. The first two series of the copoly(imide-ester)s were synthesized from N-(4-carboxyphenyl) trimellitimide with N,N-di( hydroxypropyl) pyromellitic diimide and various aromatic diols. Th
