Synthesis and characterization of a novel liquid crystal-bearing ionic mesogen

A new ionic liquid crystal bearing a sulphonate group in the mesogenic core, potassium 2-allyloxy-5-cholesteryloxycarbonylbenzenesulphonate, was synthesized. Its chemical structure was determined by various techniques including FTIR and ¹H NMR. Its liquid crystalline properties were characterized by DSC, POM and SAXS; it exhibits a smectic C mesophase. In dielectric constant measurements a maximum Δε value of -43.0 D was obtained at 210°C. The morphology of this ionic liquid crystal indicated a slant array of ionic mesogenic units under a static electric field.     

Effect of ionic aggregates of sulphonate groups on the liquid crystalline behaviours of liquid crystalline elastomers

A series of siloxane-based liquid crystalline elastomers containing biphenyl benzoate mesogenic units and ionic Brilliant Yellow moieties was synthesized. The chemical structures and liquid crystalline properties of the samples were characterized by FTIR, ¹H NMR, DSC, POM and XRD. The effective crosslink density of the ionic elastomers was determined by swelling experiments in organic/buffer mixtures. All the polymers displayed a smectic mesophase. It was shown that the glass transition and melting point temperatures of the polymers increased slightly with increasing content of ionic and mesogenic groups in the polymers, while the liquid crystal mesophase region decrease slightly.     

利用场耦合理论研究开放微波谐振腔

利用电磁场的等效原理，将一个开放微波腔等效于一个闭合边界微波腔（即封闭微波腔）和开放边界（即行波吸收边界）两部分，然后利用等效封闭微波腔的本征模式及其与开放边界的耦合，建立了关于开放微波腔模式（即模式场分布、频率、品质因子）的耦合方程组，其中开放边界为行波吸收边界.以X波段六腔渡越振荡管为例进行分析，将该振荡管等效为封闭微波腔和同轴输出结构两部分，用SUPPERFISH获得封闭腔的各个模式场分布及频率，然后根据封闭微波腔与开放边界的耦合，求得六腔渡越振荡管的工作模频率为9.25GHz，品质因子为115.2，与实验测量结果基本符合.

Effect of sulfonic acid containing mesogens on liquid-crystalline behavior of polysiloxane-based polymers

A series of liquid-crystalline polysiloxanes synthesized by cholest-5-en-3-ol (3beta)-10-undecenoate and 4'-octanoyloxy-biphenyl-4-yl 4-allyloxy-3-sulfo-benzoate were prepared in a one-step reaction with sulfonic acid group contents ranging between 0 and 2.73 wt %. All the polymers displayed smectic mesophases with a large temperature range for the mesophases. With an increase of sulfonic acid containing mesogens in the polymers, the temperature of the glass transition did not change greatly, while the temperature of the clear point decreased. The hydrogen-bonding mesogen aggregates in the domains disturb the liquid-crystalline molecular mobility and orientation, leading to a decrease in temperature from the mesophase to the isotropic transition. Unlike the polymers containing lower sulfonic acid mesogens, some polymers showed a dendritic texture of the SmB* phase, indicating that the sulfonic mesogens enhanced the rigid moieties of the supermolecular structure of the liquid-crystalline phases. All the polymers displayed sharp and strong peaks at low angles around 2theta approximately 2.6 degrees and broad peaks at wide angles around 2theta approximately 17 degrees in X-ray measurements. The intensity of the strong peak at low angles in the X-ray profiles decreased with an increase of sulfonic acid mesogens in the polymer systems.     

Liquid-crystalline behaviours of novel chitosan derivates containing singular and cholesteryl groups

A series of esters of chitosan with cholesteryl hexanoate and cholesteryl decanoate side chains were synthesised. These compounds had higher solubilities than chitosan itself and all formed cholesteric lyotropic liquid crystalline phases. They had enhanced mesogenic properties as compared with the parent polymer. We consider that these compounds may prove to be of value as vehicles for drug delivery.     

Synthesis and characterization of chiral azo LCPs with optical properties

ABSTRACT

In this study, we designed, synthesised and characterised two series of cholesteric liquid crystal polymers, QP series and ZP series. With polymethylhydrosiloxane as the main chain, QP series were synthesised by copolymerisation between the monomer M₁ containing a cholesteryl mesogenic unit and the monomer M₂ with a hydroxyl. ZP series, meanwhile, were synthesised by esterification between QP series members and the monomer M₃, a carboxylic acid with an azo mesogenic unit. We characterised chemical structures of all the monomers and polymers by FT-IR and ¹H-NMR, which proved that the target monomers and polymers had been obtained. We observed dramatic colour changes after the introduction of monomer M₃ and Grandjean textures from both QP series and ZP series using POM. In addition, strong selective reflection could be observed as well. Then, we characterised the thermal properties of polymers by DSC, TGA and XRD to explore their phase transition behaviours further. Their photoresponsive and photochromic properties were characterised by UV-Vis spectrum.     

Synthesis and characterization of side chain liquid crystalline polymers exhibiting cholesteric and blue phases

A series of cyclosiloxane-based cholesteric liquid crystalline (LC) polymers were synthesized from a cholesteric LC monomer cholest-5-en-3-yl(3β) 4-(2-propenyloxy)benzoate and a nematic LC monomer butyl 4-[4-(2-propenyloxy)benzoxy]benzoate. All the polymers exhibit thermotropic LC properties and show cholesteric phases. Most of the polymers display four types of phase transition behaviour corresponding to glass transition, melting point, cholesteric phase-blue phase transition and clearing point. The mesophase temperature range of the blue phases are as broad as 20°C. The blue phase was confirmed by the apperance of planar textures and cubic packings. With an increase of non-chiral component in the polymers, the clearing point decreases slightly, while the glass transition and melting temperatures change little. In the reflection spectra of the polymer series the reflected wavelength broadens and shifts to longer wavelength with increase of the non-chiral component in the polymer systems, suggesting that the helical pitch P lengthens.
