Abstract:Several examples of monomeric and polymerized surfactants exhibiting liquid-crystalline behaviour have recently been reported. In the present investigation a novel process for the formation of liquid crystals is introduced, according to which certain functionalized polymers induce mesomorphism when they react with appropriate amines. For instance, neutralization of polyacrylic or polymaleic acid with long-chain amines forms alkylammonium salt surfactants which exhibit mesomorphic-like character. In this type of experiment, however, the known lamellar structure of alkylammonium salts was modified by this so-called template neutralization. The carboxylate groups, due to their location on the polymeric chain, appear to exert a topochemical effect on alkylammonium moieties which in turn affect the mesomorphic behaviour compared with that of common surfactants. The mesomorphic behaviour of these materials was established by optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry.
