We report on the results of X-ray investigations in two series of polymer monomer composites, PM6Rm-33 and PMnR12-33, which consist of mixtures of achiral liquid crystalline side chain polymers and their monomers. These ...

Polymeric materials presenting liquid crystalline domains are attracting increasing attention from academia and industry due to their unique properties, particularly for optical applications and as components of high-strength ...

The synthesis and measurement of thermodynamic properties of six methacrylate-based polymers were undertaken to observe the relationship between structural aliphatic features and mesophase properties. X-ray measurements ...

The synthesis of a novel kind of form-retaining liquid crystalline crosslinked metallopolymer is reported. Copper(II) is complexed by Schiff's base units as part of a mesogenic side chain polymer. This leads to remarkable ...

This paper describes the synthesis and characterisation of methacrylic liquid crystalline side chain polymer containing azo group, with (PM6OAn) and without (PM6An) hydroxyl group. The characterisation was done by using a ...

In this contribution, magnetic investigations on materials, which essentially combine mesogenic and polymeric properties, were presented. In the glassy and the smectic phase of a copper(II) containing polymer we observed ...
