Band texture formation of sheared polymeric liquid crystalline state

The phenomenon of band texture formation of sheared main chain liquid crystalline polymers is reviewed. The bands seen in a polarizing microscope are optical effects. The macromolecular chains are aggregated into zig-zag bent fibrils perpendicular to the bands. The band texture is formed during shear relaxation. The induction period depends on the shear rate applied, the shearing time, solution concentration (lyotropic), solution layer thickness, temperature and the nature of the polymer. There exists a critical shear deformation to bring a multi-domain nematic or cholesteric phase into a monodomain continuous phase, from which the band texture is formed. These two phases show quite different rheological behavior. In certain cases randomly oriented regions of bands can also be formed during quenching of a thermotropic nematic polymer melt or during standing of a lyotropic nematic polymer solution, where the nematic domains in the melt or in the solution have grown to a sufficient size.     

MORPHOLOGY OF A THERMOTROPIC AROMATIC POLYESTER

The crystalline morphology of a thermotropic aromatic polyester has been studied by microscopy techniques. Spherulites with ringed structure under polarizing micioscope were observed for solution cast specimens, They were composed of radially growing crystalline lamellae of thickness around 100. It was found that the molecules were packed in the thickness direction. Banded texture was observed in randomly packed domains for melt cast specimens. The bands have the same width and internal structure as those usually observed in oriented specimens of these polymers obtained by shearing their mesomorphic melt.     

Synthesis and characterization of main chain liquid crystalline ionomers containing sulphonate groups

A series of main chain liquid crystalline ionomers containing sulphonate groups pendent to the polymer backbone were synthesized by an interfacial condensation reaction of 4,4'-bis(1,10-sebacyloxo)benzoic acid, brilliant yellow (BY), and 4,4'-biphenyldiol. 4,4'-Bis(1,10-sebacyloxo)benzoic acid exhibited nematic schlieren texture during heating and cooling. The ionomers are thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers and thermally stable to about 270°C. They exhibit broad mesophase regions over a range of 220°C and the same nematic mesomogen with a colourful thread texture as B₀-LCP, which implies that the introduction of an ionic group did not change the texture of the B₀-LCP. However, the thermotropic liquid crystalline properties were somewhat weakened when the concentration of BY was more than 5%. The inherent viscosity in N,N-dimethylformamide solution suggested that intermolecular associations of sulphonate groups occurred at low concentration, and intermolecular associations predominated at higher concentration.

Thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers with low thermal transitions. II. Low melting thermotropic liquid crystalline homo- and co-polyesters

Thermotropic liquid crystalline (TLC) polymers with low melt transitions are useful for imaging technologies. This is the first report describing thermotropic liquid crystalline copolyesters of low melt transitions comprised of a mesogen with up to three different spacer moieties. We have noted that the smectic mesophase range decreased with increasing amounts of different spacer moieties, without altering the isotropic transition and thereby leading to a broader nematic range. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Synthesis and characterization of main chain liquid crystalline ionomers containing sulphonate groups

A series of main chain liquid crystalline ionomers containing sulphonate groups pendent to the polymer backbone were synthesized by an interfacial condensation reaction of 4,4′‐bis(1,10‐sebacyloxo)benzoic acid, brilliant yellow (BY), and 4,4′‐biphenyldiol. 4,4′‐Bis(1,10‐sebacyloxo)benzoic acid exhibited nematic schlieren texture during heating and cooling. The ionomers are thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers and thermally stable to about 270°C. They exhibit broad mesophase regions over a range of 220°C and the same nematic mesomogen with a colourful thread texture as B₀‐LCP, which implies that the introduction of an ionic group did not change the texture of the B₀‐LCP.

Studies on the thermotropic liquid crystalline polycarbonates. III. Synthesis and properties of fully aromatic liquid crystalline polycarbonates

Four series of fully aromatic thermotropic liquid crystalline polycarbonates were prepared by melt polycondensation from various novel phenylene diphenyl dicarbonates with monomers, such as hydroquinone, methylhydroquinone, chlorohydroquinone, resorcinol, bisphenol A, 4,4′-dihydroxydiphenylsulfone, or phenylhydroquinone, respectively. The thermotropic liquid crystalline properties were studied by polarizing microscope with a heating stage, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and wide-angle x-ray diffraction (WAXD). It was found that the nonlinearity of the carbonate group was compensated by resorcinol (1,3-phenylene unit), a bent shape unit. Nematic melts were found for the resulting polycarbonates. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

UV-initiated solidification of liquid crystalline ethylcellulose/acrylic acid films and bands formed in this process

Solidification of liquid crystalline ethylcellulose/acrylic acid films was realized by UV-initiated polymerization of the solvent acrylic acid. It has been found that the original textures were immobilized to a great extent, and a novel “banded texture” formed at the same time. The optical properties of this texture were different from the banded texture formed by shearing lyotropic or thermotropic polymer liquid crystals. Formation of such bands is assumed to be related to an uncompleted phase separation.

Computational modelling of declination loops under shear flow

Optical observations of sheared lyotropic and thermotropic liquid crystals have shown them to have a rich microstructure dominated by disclination loops and networks. In thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers it has been possible to freeze in the microstructures, which are then sectioned and analysed by optical and electron microscopy, to enable the identification of the predominant types of disclinations. In this work a computational model is presented which simulates the development of texture in liquid crystalline materials. The model has been designed so that it is possible to study large localised distortions which are subjected to a flow field. In the aspect of the work reported here, simulations have been used to study the influence of simple shear on individual disclination loops placed in an otherwise undeformed sample. The subsequent deformation of the loop is shown to be dependent on the angle that the rotation vector of the loop makes with the vorticity direction.

Banded texture decoration of disclinations in a main chain thermotropic aromatic copolyester observed by optical microscopy

A new method for the study of texture and director patterns in a main chain thermotropic aromatic copolyester with a flexible spacer is described, whereby the molecular chain or director orientation of the nematic mesophase becomes decorated by the formation of a banded texture during quenching, without being subjected to a shear. The pattern of the decorated banded texture may be observed directly by polarizing optical microscopy, revealing the complete texture of molecular chain orientation across the whole specimen. The molecular director orientation lies perpendicular to the long axis of the bands. Various types of disclination, including an inversion wall, in the nematic mesophase of a thermotropic aromatic copolyester have been observed. This decorating technique is particularly suited for non-crystallizable main chain liquid crystalline polymers, where the lamellar decoration technique fails.

Synthesis and mesomorphic behaviour of novel chiral nematic side chain liquid crystalline polysiloxanes

A series of novel thermotropic side chain liquid crystalline polymers was synthesized by grafting copolymerization of a mesogenic monomer, 4-allyloxybenzoyl-4′?-(4-n-alkylbenzoyl)–p-benzenediol bisate and a chiral monomer, menthyl undecylenate. The mesogenic monomers exhibited nematic threadlike textures during heating and cooling. The polymers showed thermotropic liquid crystalline properties with a broad mesomorphic region over a range of 100°C. The polymers exhibited a cholesteric mesophase with a colourful Grand-Jean texture when the content of chiral units was greater than 15?mol?%; the others exhibited nematic threadlike textures. All of the polymers were thermally stable over 300°C, and most were laevorotatory as the chiral monomer.     

Thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers with low thermal transitions. I. Low melting thermotropic liquid crystalline homo- and co-polycarbonates

Due to the particular rheological properties of thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers (TLCP), their application for imaging technology has been investigated. The first class of polymers investigated in this study are the thermotropic liquid crystalline polycarbonates prepared from the solution polycondensation of p,p-dihydroxybiphenyl with bischloroformate as the aliphatic flexible spacer. From the variety of bischloroformates employed, smectic TLCP's were generally obtained with the possible presence of a nematic mesostate. The introduction of comonomers such as substituted hydroquinones or bisphenols were found to lower both the melting transitions and mesophasic range of the TLCP. From rheological characterization, the amount of nonmesogenic moieties present in the copolycarbonates were found to correlate with the increase in the melt viscosity of TLCP.
