Summary: A series of novel mesogen‐jacketed liquid crystal miktoarm star rod‐coil block copolymers were synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Their architectures {coil conformation of styrene segment and rigid rod conformation of {2,5‐bis[(4‐methoxyphenyl)oxycarbonyl]styrene} (MPCS) segment} were confirmed by GPC, 1H NMR, and MALDI‐TOF studies. The liquid crystalline behaviors of the synthesized copolymers are evidenced from POM observation. The liquid crystalline phase depends on the molecular weights of the rigid rod arm of miktoarm star copolymers.
