Thermotropic polyurethanes were synthesized from 1,6-hexane diisocyanate (HDI) as a diisocyanate, 1,6-hexane diol (HD), and rigid diols containing imide unit such as N,N＇-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3,4,3＇,4＇-biphenyl-dicarboxyimide (BPDI) or bis-N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4,4＇-oxydiphthalimide (ODPI). The effects of structure difference between BPDI and ODPI and composition of HD/BPDl (ODPI) on the thermal and liquid crystalline behavior were studied. Thermotropic polyurethanes with an inherent viscosity of 0.59~0.70 were obtained. The melting temperature of BPDI-based polyurethanes were in the range of 150~$290^{\circ}C$, however, those of ODPI-based polyurethanes were in the range of 150~$190^{\circ}C$. All the polyurethanes based on ODPI (25~100 mole %) clearly exhibited a stable liquid crystalline phase, and BPDI-based polyurethane having 5-25% of BPDT showed a mesophase. The melting and isotropization temperatures ($T_m$, $T_i$) and ΔT($T_i$ - $T_m$) increased with increasing BPDI and ODPI content. The polyurethanes based on BPDI has higher melting points and thermal stability compared to ODPI-based polyurethanes.

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.

Syntheses and liquid-Crystallinites of thermotropic copoly (ester amide)s were investigated. The three components melt polycondensation of 4,4'-dicarboxy-$\alpha$, $\omega$-diphenoxyalkane as an A component, 4-4'diacetoxybiphenyl as a B, and p-N-acetoxy-aminobenzoic acid as a C gave the thrmotropic copoly(ester amide)s containing a flexible splacer in the polymer backbone. Diacetylated hydroquinone, methyl hydroquinone, chlorohydroquinone, and phenyl hydroquinone were used as anther B components. A polymer(6BPAB) having 10 mol% of C component and hexamethylene space. showed a typical nematic texture between $245^{\circ}C(T_m)\; and\; more\; than\; 360^{\circ]C(T_i)$. The melting points of the members of this series of polymers increased with decreasing methylene spacer. The polymer structure and mesomorphic nature were examined by solid and solution ^{13}C-NMR4 spectroscopy, cross polarizing microscopy with a hot stage, and X-ray diffactometry.

We describe the precision synthesis schemes of siloxane-containing polymers, i.e., the control of their molecular weight, stereoregularity, and higher-order structures. First, we found a new catalytic dehydrocoupling reaction of water with bis(dimethylsilyl)benzene to give poly(phenylene-disiloxane). Together with this reaction, we applied hetero-condensations to the synthesis of thermally stable poly(arylene-siloxane)s. The dehydrocoupling reaction was applied to the synthesis of syndiotactic poly(methylphenylsiloxane) and poly(silsesquioxane)s, which we also prepared by hydrolysis and deaminative condensation reactions. We discuss the tendency for loop formation to occur in the synthesis of poly(silsesquioxane) by hydrolysis, and provide comments on the design of functionality of the polymers produced. By taking advantage of the low energy barrier to rotation in the silicon-oxygen bond, we designed selective oxygen-permeable membrane materials and liquid crystalline materials. The low surface free energy of siloxane-containing systems allows surface modification of a blend film and the design of holographic grating materials.

High temperature size exclusion chromatography (SEC) has been used widely for the characterization of crystalline polymers, for which high temperature operation above the polymer melting temperature is required to dissolve the polymers. However, this high temperature operation has many advantages in SEC separation in addition to merely increasing polymer solubility. At high temperature the eluent viscosity decreases, which in turn decreases the column backpressure and increases the diffusivity of the analytes. Therefore, many reports on the high temperature operation of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) have focused on shortening the analysis time and enhancing the resolution. However, the application of high temperature SEC analysis to exploit the merits of high temperature operation is scarce. In this article, therefore, we report on a new apparatus design for high temperature SEC.

선상의 액정 dimer 동족체인 ${\alpha},{\omega}$-(4-사이아노아조벤젠-4'-옥시)알케인(CATWETn, n = 2~10, 유연격자 중의 메틸렌 단위들의 수)을 합성함과 동시에 이들의 열방성 액정 거동을 검토하였다. n이 3, 6인 dimer들은 단방성 네마틱 상을 형성하는 반면 다른 유도체들은 양방성 네마틱 상을 형성하였다. Dimer들의 네마틱액체 전이온도와 상 전이시의 엔트로피 변화는 n의 함수로서 커다란 홀수-짝수 효과를 나타냈다. 이러한 상 전이 거동은 유연격자의 홀수-짝수의 변화에 의한 유연격자의 평균적인 형태변화의 견지에서 합리적으로 설명된다. CATWETn이 나타내는 네마틱 상의 열적 안정성과 질서도 그리고 홀수-짝수 효과는 메톡시, 니트로 그리고 펜틸기로 치환된 dimer에 대해 보고된 결과와 유사한 경향을 나타내는 반면 monomesogenic 화합물인 1-{4-(4'-사이아노페닐아조)펜옥시}알킬브롬 그리고 곁사슬형 액정 고분자인 폴리[1-{4-(4'-사이아노페닐아조)펜옥시알킬옥시}에틸렌]에 대해 보고된 결과와 현저히 달랐다. 이들의 결과를 Imirie에 의한 'virtural trimer model'의 견지에서 검토하였다.

We have synthesized new aromatic polyesters (DiPEG-HQ and DiPEG-BP) by condensation polymerization of a terephthalic acid derivative bearing a pendant oligo(oxyethylene) (DP = 7, MW = 350), which has a methoxy terminal group, and two different aromatic diols, hydroquinone and 4,4'-biphenoI. The synthesized polymers were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarizing microscopy, and X-ray diffractometry for their liquid crystallinity (LC), thermal transitions, and structural morphologies in mesophases. The morphology of the LC phases depends strongly on the length of the rigid backbone repeating unit. The DiPEG-BP polymer having a longer repeating unit exhibits both layered and nematic structures before isotropization, whereas the DiPEG-HQ polymer having a shorter repeating unit shows only the layered structure in the mesophase. We found that the layer spacing for DiPEG-HQ is larger than that for DiPEG-BP. Both polymers easily form complexes with LiCF$_3$SO$_3$; we studied this complex formation by FT-IR spectroscopy. The layer spacing of the polymer-electrolyte composites increases upon increasing the amount of the lithium salt. The polymer/salt electrolyte mixtures we investigated at molar ratios of EO:salt in the range of 5-20 exhibit electrical conductivity values at 40$^{\circ}C$ of 2.4${\times}$10$\^$5/ and 1.1${\times}$10$\^$－5/ S/cm for DiPEG-HQ/LiCF$_3$SO$_3$ and DiPEG-BP/LiCF$_3$SO$_3$, respectively. At 80 $^{\circ}C$, these values are higher: 4.6${\times}$10$\^$－3/ and 1.1${\times}$10$\^$－4/ S/cm, respectively. The activation energy of conductivity depends strongly on the salt concentration.

Novel liquid crystalline malonic ester monomers were synthesized from malonyl dichloride and mesogenic alcohols as a photoresponsive group. The monomers were polymerized with aliphatic or aromatic dibromides in the presence of sodium hydride to give 8 kinds of novel poly(malonic esters) with two symmetrical azobenzene groups. We found that the resulting polymer films could be used as rewritable optical data storage (or holographic image) media through a photoisomerization of azobenzene group by Ar laser irradiation. The sensitivity of data recording was dependent not only on the thickness of the polymeric thin film but also on the intensity of laser beam.

Photoresponsive polymers are being intensely investigated over last two decades, which can be attributed to both fundamental and applied significance. Presently the attention is being directed to these materials in view of their possible application in nonlinear optics and optoelectronics. It was demnstrated quite early that by covalent fixation of both photochromic group and the mesogenic group to the same polymer main chain high concentration of photochromic group can be attained.(omitted)
