Thermal properties of a series of side-chain liquid crystalline poly(methacrylates)

چکیده
2014 The thermal behaviour of a series of side-chain liquid crystalline poly(methacrylates) has been investigated by thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy, and dilatometry. The DSC study has shown that long times are required to reach equilibrium even at temperatures above the glass transition. The thermotropic polymorphism has been determined as a function of the length of the flexible spacer. Glass transitions in the mesomorphic state have been discussed. Dilatometry has shown that, for the « glassy » mesomorphic phases, the partial specific volume of the flexible spacer is close to that corresponding to the crystalline state ; that, for the normal liquid crystalline phases, it is intermediate between those corresponding to the crystal and the isotropic liquid ; and that, for the isotropic polymer, it is close to that of a liquid.

In side-chain liquid crystalline diblock copolymers, driving forces for ordering of the material may be provided by the chemical incompatibility between the blocks and by the liquid crystalline nature of one of the blocks. We study the microstructure and its development from initially isotropic solutions in side-group liquid crystalline copolymers based on styrene–isoprene diblocks. Hierarchica...
متن کاملLiquid Crystalline Properties of Some Monomeric Azo- and Azoxybenzenes and Their Polymers
-We have studied the mesomorphism of p-acryloyland p-methacryloy1-oxy-p'substituted azoand azoxybenzenes. Polymers, obtained by free radical polymerization of these compounds in solution, give anisotropic melts at T,. According tox-ray diffraction data the polymers are characterized by a smectic structure. There is no correlation between the thermal behaviour of monomers and polymers. The optic...
متن کاملSynthesis and Characterization of Poly(azomethine ester)s with a Pendent Dimethoxy Benzylidene Group
Recently, soluble poly(azomethine ester)s with good thermal stability and liquid crystalline properties are much sought after in opto-electronic field. One such attempt was to synthesize poly(azomethine ester)s with a pendent group. In this study, the newly synthesized diacid monomer benzalaniline 3’-4’dimethoxy terepthalic acid was condensed with two diol monomers to get the polymers with pend...

متن کاملThermal Properties of Aliphatic Polypeptoids
A series of polypeptoid homopolymers bearing short (C1–C5) side chains of degrees of polymerization of 10–100 are studied with respect to thermal stability, glass transition and melting points. Thermogravimetric analysis of polypeptoids suggests stability to >200 °C. The study of the glass transition temperatures by differential scanning calorimetry revealed two dependencies. On the one hand an...
