Synthesis and properties of cholesteric liquid crystalline elastomers

The synthesis of new side-chain cholesteric liquid crystalline elastomers, containing the flexible non-mesogenic crosslinking agent M-1 and the cholesteric monomer M-2, is described by a one-step hydrosilication reaction. The chemical structures of the monomers and network polymers obtained were confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy. Their mesogenic properties and phase behavior were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy, and x-ray diffraction measurements. The influence of the crosslinking units on the phase behavior is discussed. The network polymers showed elasticity, reversible phase transitions, and cholesteric Grandjean texture. The experimental results demonstrated that the glass transition temperatures and isotropization temperatures of network elastomers decreased as the concentration of crosslinking units was increased, but the cholesteric phase was not disturbed.     

Study on new chiral liquid crystalline monomers and polymers containing menthyl groups

A series of new chiral monomers (M1–M4) and the corresponding siloxane polymers (P1–P4) containing menthyl groups were synthesised to establish the relationship between their structure and liquid crystalline properties. The effect of the mesogenic core rigidity and the spacer length on the phase behaviour of the monomers and polymers obtained in this study was discussed. The selective reflection of light for the chiral monomers was studied with UV-Vis spectrometer. Polarising optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis were used to characterise the phase behaviour and thermal stabilities. It was found that these chiral monomers and polymers were beneficial for the formation of the mesophases when a flexible spacer was inserted between the mesogenic core and terminal menthyl groups. M1–M3 showed enantiotropic chiral smectic C phase and cholesteric phase, and monotropic cubic blue phase on cooling cycle. M4 only showed cholesteric phase. P1–P4 showed a smectic A phase. With increasing the mesogenic core rigidity or decreasing the spacer length, the corresponding melting temperatures, glass transition temperatures and isotropic temperatures all increased.

Synthesis and crosslinking of biphenyl and naphthalene liquid‐crystalline polyethers with pendant full‐saturated and vinyl‐terminated aliphatic chains

Two series of vinyl‐terminated, side‐chain liquid‐crystalline polyethers containing 4,4′‐biphenyl and 2,6‐naphthalene moieties as mesogenic cores with several contents of vinyl crosslinkable groups were synthesized by chemically modifying poly(epichlorohydrin) with mixtures of saturated and vinyl‐terminated mesogenic acids. In most cases the degree of modification was over 90%. The polymers were characterized by chlorine analysis, IR and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopies, viscometry, size exclusion chromatography/multi‐angle laser light scattering, and thermogravimetric analysis. The liquid‐crystal behavior of all the synthesized polymers was examined by differential scanning calorimetry, polarized optical microscopy (POM), and X‐ray diffraction on mechanically oriented samples. The crosslinking of most polymers was done by peroxide‐type initiators, which generally led to liquid‐crystal elastomers. The mesophase organization was maintained on the crosslinked materials, as confirmed by POM and X‐ray diffraction. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Side‐chain cholesteric liquid‐crystalline elastomers derived from smectic crosslinking units: Synthesis and phase behavior

New side‐chain cholesteric liquid‐crystalline elastomers containing cholesteryl 4‐allyloxybenzoate as cholesteric mesogenic units and biphenyl 4,4′‐bis(10‐undecen‐1‐ylenate) as smectic crosslinking units were synthesized. The chemical structures of the olefinic compounds and polymers obtained were confirmed by element analysis, Fourier transform infrared, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, and carbon‐13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. The mesogenic properties were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, polarizing optical microscopy, and X‐ray diffraction measurements. The influence of the concentration of the crosslinking unit on the phase behavior of the elastomers was examined. The elastomers containing less than 17 mol % of the crosslinking units revealed elasticity, reversible mesomorphic phase transition, wider mesophase temperature ranges, and higher thermal stability. The experimental results demonstrated that the glass‐transition temperature, isotropization temperature, and mesophase temperature ranges decreased with an increasing concentation of the crosslinking unit. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
