Side-chain liquid-crystalline polyacrylates: Experimental evidence of a coexistence of a double main-chain confinement inside the smectic layer

consider that the polymeric SE phase may be of a hexatic nature comparable in some way to the SI phase of conventional mesogens and that the backbones are aligned

2014 A homologous series of three side-chain liquid crystalline poly(methacrylates) with 4’- methoxybiphenylyl pendant mesogenic groups and oligo(ethylene-oxide)

for the PM-1 to PM-4 polymers lie at least 100 K above the clearing (liquid crystal to isotropic melt transition) temperatures discussed below.. As a second

If we now come back to the X-ray diffraction pattern, we may notice that the diffuse line (f) is slightly curved towards the meridian Oz. This may remind the

This result will subsequently be seen to be due to a marked influence of pre-transitional effects associated with the N-SmA transition. Figure 3c sho~vs that a master curve can

The effect of the spacer length on the nature of coupling in side chain liquid crystals polymers and

In order Jo check our assumption that the « butterfly wings present.in t~e X-raj diffraction pattern displayed by polymer P~ in its S~ phase are due to edge, dislocations in

The mo;t efficient way to check the hairpin conformation con;I;t; in mea,uring the chain dimen;ion; in the direction, parallel (fl) and perpendicular (£) to the nematic director..
