POLYMERIZABLE ION-CONDUCTIVE LIQUID-CRYSTALLINE COMPOSITE, ANISOTROPICALLY ION-CONDUCTIVE POLYMERIC LIQUID-CRYSTAL COMPOSITE, AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

A composite of an organic monomer compound having a molecular structure containing a polymerizable part, a part for forming an ion composite, and a mesogenic part imparting liquid crystallinity with an (in)organic salt is polymerized at the polymerizable part of the organic monomer compound. Thus, an anisotropically ion-conductive polymeric liquid-crystal composite is obtained. A new material is thus provided which combines the high ionic conductivity inherent in polyelectrolytes, the anisotropy due to liquid-crystal orientation, and the self-supporting properties possessed by polymeric compounds.
