  • A series of new liquid crystalline compounds having two identical mesogenic terminal units, the 4-(p-nitrobenzoyloxy)phenoxy group, attached to both ends of a central polymethylene spacer of various lengths was prepared. The mesomorphic properties of the compounds were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and by polarizing microscopy. Almost all of the compounds formed monotropic nematic mesophases. The trimethylene spacer compound was found to be non-liquid crystalline, while the one with the hexamethylene central spacer was enantiotropic. A thermodynamic analysis was performed for the phase transitions of the compounds and the results are discussed in relation to their liquid crystal properties.

  • 새로운 혼성 폴리에스테르 4가지를 합성하여 액정성을 DSC 및 편광 현미경을 사용하여 조사, 연구하였다. 세가지 혼성 폴리에스테르는 같은 메소젠 단위를 갖고 있으나 폴리메틸렌 유연 격자중 메틸렌기 수가 기수-우수, 기수-기수 및 우수-우수의 조합으로 되어 있는점이 다르며, 또 하나의 혼성 폴리에스테르는 양단에 p-옥시벤조일기가 결합하고 있는 메틸-및 브로모히드로 퀴논 단위가 데카메틸렌 격자에 결합하고 있는 구조를 갖고 있다. 이들 폴리에스테르는 모두 녹는점 및 그 이상의 온도에서 네마틱 액정상을 형성함을 알았으며 네마틱${\to}$등방성 액체간의 상변환이 가역적으로 일어남을 DSC 및 현미경으로 관찰할 수 있었다. 액정${\to}$등방성액체의 상변환에 수반되는 열역학적 성질을 중합체의 구조와 관련시켜 고찰하였다.

  • This paper describes the out-of-plane order of a liquid crystalline(LC) methacrylate copolymer(3) comprised of a methacrylate(1) with a 4-styrylpyridine moiety as the photo-cyclodimerizable group and a benzoate moiety as the mesogenic group in the side chain, and another methacrylate(2) with a 4-(4-methoxyphenyl)benzoate moiety as the mesogenic group. The composition of 1 and 2 units in 3 was estimated to have a molar ratio of 54.2:45.8 by $^{1}H$ NMR spectroscopy. The X-ray diffraction study revealed that the copolymer forms a partial bilayer smectic structure. The copolymer gave rise to a high out-of-plane order parameter of about 0.74 in a wide LC temperature range of $110{\sim}160^{\circ}C$ after linearly polarized, UV light irradiation and subsequent annealing. Moreover, the external reflection IR analysis indicated that excess UV-light irradiation makes the out-of-plane LC structure of the copolymer appear in a higher and wider temperature range.

  • Raman and fluorescence spectroscopies were employed to study the coil effects on the intermolecular structure of a rod-coil liquid crystalline (LC) oligomer, the esterification products of ethyl 4-[4'-oxy-4-biphenylcarbonyloxy]- 4'-biphenylcarboxylate with poly(propylene)oxides (PPO) (DP=12) and poly(ethylene oxide)s (PEO) (DP=12). Three different vibrational modes (carbonyl, aromatic C-H, and aromatic C=C) obtained from the Raman experiment at variable temperature indicate that PPO and PEO coils induce the hydrogen bonding in a different manner. Further information about the micro-environment around the mesogenic unit obtained by fluorescence excitation spectra of P12-4 (LC with PPO coil) and 12-4 (LC with PEO coil) suggests that the mesogenic unit of P12-4 is quite different from that of 12-4 in intermolecular structure. This study supports the results obtained only from Raman spectroscopy, providing more accurate information about the intermolecular structural changes of liquid crystalline polymers at a molecular level during the phase transitions.

  • Main-chain/side-chain liquid crystalline polymers (MCSCLCPs) combined with an azobenzene group and a cholesteryl group were synthesized to impart light and temperature sensitivity to the polymer. The polymers were designed with the azobenzene unit as the mesogenic group of the main-chain and various compositions of the azobenzene and cholesteryl units as the mesogenic group of the side-chain. The chemical structures and physical properties of the synthesized polymers were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, polarized optical microscopy, and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. All the MCSCLCPs were amorphous and exhibited enantiotropic liquid crystal phases; these polymers achieved the nematic phase with increasing content of the azobenzene group and exhibited the cholesteric phase with weak liquid crystallinity as the content of the cholesteryl group was increased. Furthermore, the polymers containing the azobenzene group showed photoisomerization when exposed to UV-Vis light, and the CP-A3C7 and CP-A5C5 polymers exhibited thermochromism in the temperature range of the liquid crystal phase.

  • We report the syntheses and characterizations of a novel TTF derivative. To extend the mesogenic core, alkoxy naphthalenic group and short alkyl chains were introduced on either side of TTF unit, which results in asymmetric planar structure. TTF molecule is expected to show many interesting properties.

  • Mesogenic and azo monomers were synthesized and copolymerized to obtain two copolymers composed of methacrylate and itaconate backbone. Glass transition temperatures of the copolymers were found to be slightly higher than ambient temperature. Both the copolymers showed liquid crystalline properties. Trans-cis isomerization in film state was observed under UV-irradiation with a light of 365 nm. Regarding the photochemical phase transition behavior, the transition rate of nematic-to-isotropic state was slightly faster in the methacrylate copolymer during irradiation at 365 nm and the rate of the reverse transition was much faster in itaconate copolymer under thermal effect.
