Blends of silicone rubber (VMQ) and liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) were prepared by the melt mixing technique. Mechanical, XRD, thermal and dynamic mechanical investigations are reported for the pure silicone rubber and blends. The mechanical properties, viz. the tensile strength, tear strength and elongation at break, of the silicone rubber decreased with the addition of LCP. The SEM study on the tensile fractured surface of the blends revealed that they had a two phase structure, and that the failure was mainly due to fiber pull out, which suggests that the VMQ and LCP are incompatible in all of the proportions examined in this study. However, the FTIR study shows that there was a partial interaction between the VMQ and LCP, but which may not be sufficient to grip the fibrils under the applied load. In the XRD analysis, it was observed that the crystalline structure of the silicone rubber deteriorated in the presence of LCP. The DMA study suggested that the storage modulus of the silicone rubber was improved with the addition of LCP, due to the high modulus of the LCP phase. The thermal stability of the silicone rubber was greatly reduced by the addition of LCP, due to the latter having a thermal stability lower than that of silicone rubber.

Thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (TLCP)/poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) (PEN)/poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) ternary blends were prepared by melt blending, and were melt-spun to fibers at various spinning speeds in an effort to improve fiber performance and processability. Structure and property relationship of TLCP/PEN/PET ternary blend fibers and effects of annealing on those were investigated. The mechanical properties of ternary blend fibers could be significantly improved by annealing, which were attributed to the development of more ordered crystallites and the formation of more perfect crystalline structures. TLCP/PEN/PET ternary blend fibers that annealed at 18$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 h, exhibited the highest values of tensile strength and modulus. The double melting behaviors observed in the annealed ternary blend fibers depended on annealing temperature and time, which might be caused by different lamellae thickness distribution as a result of the melting-reorganization process during the DSC scans.

Nano-crystalline Si thin films were deposited on polymer and glass by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) - assisted RF magnetron sputtering at low temperature in an argon and hydrogen atmosphere. Internal ICP coil was installed to increase hydrogen atoms dissociated by the induced magnetic field near the inlet of the working gases. The microstructure of deposited films was investigated with XRD, Raman spectroscopy and TEM. The crystalline volume fraction of the deposited films on polymer was about 70% at magnetron RF power of 600W and ICP RF power of 500W. Crystalline volume fraction was decreased slightly with increasing magnetron RF power due to thermal damage by ion bombardment. The diffraction peak consists of two peaks at $28.18^{\circ}$ and $47.10^{\circ}\;2{\theta}$ at magnetron RF power of 600W and ICP RF power of 500W, which correspond to the (111), (220) planes of crystalline Si, respectively. As magnetron power increase, (220) peak disappeared and a dominant diffraction plane was (111). In case of deposited films on glass, the diffraction peak consists of three peaks, which correspond to the (111), (220) and (311). As the substrate temperature increase, dominant diffraction plane was (220) and the thickness of incubation (amorphous) layer was decreased.

It is well known that poly(glutamate)s with long n-alkyl side chains form thermotropic liquid crystalline state by melting of the side-chain crystallites and also poly(glutamate)s such as poly(${\gamma}-benzyl\;L-glutamate$ )(PBLG), poly(${\gamma}-n-alkyl\;L-glutamate$), etc. in solvent form the isotropic, biphasic and liquid crystalline phases which contains cholesteric and columnar liquid crystalline forms depending on the polypeptide concentration. Although there is no diffusion study for PBLG in liquid crystalline state, because it is difficult to observed $^{1}H$ spectrum of PBLG in liquid crystalline state for its very short $^{1}H\;T_{2}$. In this study, the diffusional behavior of rodlike PBLG in concentrated solution is successfully elucidated as studied by the field-gradient $^{1}H$ NMR methods.

A new rod-like liquid crystalline monomer having divinyl terminal groups was synthesized and polymerized by using thiol-ene UV polymerization technique. High quality thin film with good retardation value was prepared on a rubbed alignment layer without the inert gas purging. The retardation value of the resulting film was controlled by experimental conditions such as spin speed, concentration, and spin time. From the retardation value and thickness measurement, ${\bigtriangleup}n$ was calculated to be 0.169 for the resulting film having thickness of 815.1 nm.

Blends of silicone rubber (VMQ) and liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) were prepared using a melt blending technique in the presence and absence of glass fiber and coupling agents. The effect of glass fiber and coupling agents on the thermal, dynamic mechanical, morphological pro-perties and cure characteristics of VMQ/LCP blends were studied. The vinyl silane coupling agent showed a significant effect on the above mentioned properties of VMQ/LCP blends by reacting at the interface between VMQ and LCP. The viscosity of the VMQ/LCP blends decreased with the addition of a coupling agent. A substantial improvement in storage modulus of VMQ/LCP blends was observed in the presence of glass fiber and coupling agents. However, as a coupling agent vinyl silane proved to be better than amine for the VMQ/LCP-glass-containing blends. The thermal stability of the pure silicone rubber was higher than those of the blends. This high thermal stability of silicone rubber was attributed to the Si-O-Si bonds. However, the thermal stability of the blends decreased further in the presence of a coupling agent, possibly due to a decrease in blend crystallinity.
