Abstract: | The comblike polymers, poly(Nε-methacryloyl-Nα-acyl) derivatives of L -lysine, which contain amino acid fragments and long sequences of methylene groups in the side chain, were synthesized. This article, which is based on x-ray data, differential thermal analysis, and optical microscopy, describes the structure of these polymers and their properties. It also shows that the combination of anisodiametric side groups with a “rigid” matrix of main chains leads to a liquid crystalline structure of examined polymers. |
