The in situ composites based on poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) and thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) have been an area of increasing interest and study, since LCP exhibits high chemical stabilities and excellent thermo mechanical properties such as high strength and modulus. In a binary, however, poor compatibility and interfacial adhesions between two phases frequently results in deteriorated mechanical properties. (omitted)

LCP/PA alloy was prepared by blending poly(${\varepsilon}-caprolactam$) (PA) with liquid crystal polyester, Vectra (LCP) having high elasticity and strength. The alloy prepared amorphous PA with more than 10 parts of thermotropic LCP had poor compatibility. To increase the compatibility of the alloy, compatibilizing agent, poly(glycinylmaleimide-co-methylmetacrylate)[poly(GMI-co-MMA)] copolymer was prepared by copolymerizing N-glycinylmaleimide(GMI) with methylmetacrylate(MMA). And then, it was blended with LCP and PA to produce LCP/PA alloy having an excellent compatibility. The compatibility characteristics of the alloy prepared from LCP and PA using the poly(GMI-co-MMA) was determined by measuring the thermal characteristics of glass transition temperature of nematic LCP, and rheological properties, and also high rate impact and flexual characteristics of the alloy were determined.

Aggregation states ans electro-optic properties of a binary mixture by mixing a side chain type liquid crystalline polymer(LCP) and a low molecular weight liquid crystal(LMLC) have been studied. Side chain liquid crystalline polysiloxanes were synthesized from allyl bromide, p-hydroxy benzoic acid, p-cyanophenol, p-methoxyphenol and polysiloxanes. Low molecular weight liquid crystals were synthesized from allyl bromide, p-hydroxy benzoic acid and 4-cyano 4'-hydroxy biphenyl. And then, their properties were compared with blended liquid crystals. The thermal properties of the blended liquid crystals were evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry. The phase behavior of blended sample with temperature were also observed polarized microscope with hot stage. Thus, it seemed to us that a study of LC polysiloxanes with LMLC would be useful, especially in view of the fact that, systematic investigations have been carried out on the effects of changes in LCP/LMLC binary system on the properties of this relatively new type of liquid crystal.

PAZO-6 is a new combined type liquid crystalline polymers (LCP) which has two types of mesogens combined non linearly. Ordering of branch mesogen azo group, in PAZO-6 is an important parameter to observe as well as the substitution effect on the backbone. The related small molecules sllch as monomers as well as the polymer itself are studied by solid state NMR techniques. Preliminary $^{13}C$ CP/MAS (cross polarization/ magic angle spinning) spectral results suggest that the azo groups in the monomers are not aligned with themselves. Azo groups in the monomers seem to be poorly ordered between well ordered p-phenylene terephthalate moeities. Similar disordering tendency of the azo group in PAZO-6 is deduced from the overall aromatic carbon peak positions which are not much different from those of the monomer.

Thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer(LCP) has been used for the alignment of ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) molecules and the surface morphology of the resulting polymeric thin film has been observed by atomic forced microscope. The uniform alignment of FLC molecules on the surface of thermotropic LCP thin film was obtained even though microgroove structures were not formed. The contrast ratio of sample cell was about 23:1 including two polarizers and a good memory capability due to the bistability of FLC was obtained. After AC field stabilization at 20V, the typical stripe-shaped patterns appeared.

Polymer composites based on a thermotropic liquid-crystalline polymer (TLCP) and poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) were prepared using a melt blending process. Polymer composites consisting of bulk cheap polyester with a small quantity of expensive TLCP are of interest from a commercial perspective. The interactions between the PBT chains and the flexible poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) units in the TLCP phase resulted in an improvement in the compatibility of PBT/TLCP composites. TLCP droplets deformed and fragmented into smaller droplets in the PBT/TLCP composites, which resulted in TLCP fibrillation through the effective deformation of the TLCP droplets. The nucleation activities of the PBT/TLCP composites increased by adding even a small amount of the TLCP component.

A new concept of the microlens array is fabricated using a birefringent layer on the concave microlens array. The stacked layers of liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) and the UV epoxy focus an incident light due to the surface relief structure. The ferroelectric liquid crystal layer was added to control the focusing intensity with a fast switching time.

열방성 액정고분자와 폴리카보네이트를 대상 수지로 하여 용융혼합기로 액정고분자 의 함량, 혼합속도 및 온도등의 변환에 따른 훈련 특성을 측정하고 고분자 혼합물의 혼련조 건과 유변학적 특성 모폴로지 사이의 관계를 조사하였다. 혼련 토크는 100rpm의 혼합속도 에서 극소값을 보이며 혼합기 내의 전단속도가 낮기 때문에 혼력에의해서는 LCP가 섬유상 으로 형성되지 못하고 구형의 입자로 존재함을 알수 있었다. 혼합물의 점도는 시험된 전단 속도 영역에서 순수한 고분자보다 현저히 낮으며 5wt%의 소량 첨가로도 5배의 점도 감소 효과를 보이고 LCP함량이 약 30wt%일 경우 점도 및 혼합에너지가 최소로 되었다. Capillary 레오미터의 실험결과 LCP/PC의 점도비가 1보다 작거나 같튼 전단장하에서 LCP 는 섬유상을 형성하였으며 높은 점도비의 경우 LCP의 변형이 어려워 구형의 입자로 존재하 였다. 또한 혼합물의 PC Tg 이동은 에스터르 교환 반응에 의한 부분적인 혼화성의 증가에 기인함을 알수 있었다.

We have synthesized a new material of polyoxetane based liquid crystalline polymer/liquid crystal (LCP/LC) for flexible memory or dynamic mode device and characterized the electro-optics behavior of this system. The microscopic dynamic behavior of main chain, side chain, and the low molecular weight LC were characterized by X-ray scattering and time resolved FTIR..
