Synthesis and properties of liquid crystalline poly(oxyethylene)s containing (n-octylsulfonyl)alkylthio or (n-octylsulfonyl)alkylsulfonyl side groups

摘要

Since the introduction of side-chain liquid crystalline polymers (SCLCPs), they have attracted increasing attention for both theoretical and practical aspects. They can combine the anisotropic properties of liquid crystals with the polymeric properties and have the potential of being used for some new applications.
