Mesogenic unit를 포함하고 있지 않는 1,4-phenylene diisocyanate, 2,6-bis(5-hydroxypentoxy)naphthalene, 1,4-bis(5-hydroxypentoxy)benzene을 重附加反應을 시킨 結果 生成된 co-polyurethane은 液晶性을 나타내었다. copolyurethane의 熱的 性質과 構造確認을 위하여 DSC, 編光顯微鏡, TG 및 FT-IR, $^{1}$H-NMR로 測定하였다. DSC 測定結果 Tm 및 Ti가 대부분 明確의 나타내었다. 특히 液晶 範圍는 copolyurethane은 homopolyurethane보다 약간 넓은 範圍에서 液晶性을 나타내었다. 예를 들면 copolyurethane(60/40) 및 home-polyurethane(0/100) 의 液晶 範圍는 각각 2$0^{\circ}C$ 및 11$^{\circ}C$이다. 이러한 것은 homopolyurethane이 copiktyretgabe보다 熱的 安定性이 적다는 것을 나타낸다. 그리고 TG의 測定에서도 homopolyurethane(100/0) 및 copolyurethane이 熱的으로 安定하다는 것을 알았다. 예를 들면 homopolyurethane(100/0) 및 copolyurethane(80/20)에서의 5%에서의 TG 測定結果 각각 312$^{\circ}C$ 및 327$^{\circ}C$였다. 이러한 結果는 copolyurethane이 homopolyurethane보다 分子間 水素結合의 影響으로 熱的 安定性을 가져오는 것을 確認 할 수 있었다.

New polyesters with bent-shaped mesogens were synthesized varying the central unit with 1,6- and 2,3- naphthylenes, and introducing the dodecamethylene flexible spacer. The mesogenic properties of the polymers were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, DSC, polarizing optical microscopy.

Semi-flexible liquid crystalline polymers containing a mesogenic group and an octamethylene flexible spacer in the main chain were synthesized by solution polycondensation. The mesogenic group in the polymer consists of four aromatic rings connected by ester and ketone, ether, sulfide, methylene, sulfone, or isopropylidene linkage groups. This paper discusses effects of the central linker of the mesogenic group on polymer properties. The structures and properties of synthesized polymers were investigated by $^1H$-NMR, FT-IR, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), and polarizing optical microscope (POM). Polymers having bent linkage groups exhibited low thermal transition temperatures, narrow mesophase temperature ranges, low liquid crystallinity, and good solubilities in organic solvents, while those having bulky linkage groups were amorphous and exhibited high glass transition temperatures.

A series of liquid crystalline polyesters containing X-shaped mesogenic groups in main chain were synthesized through the solution polymerization of 2,5-di(4-substituted benzoate)hydroquinones and 4,4'-dicarboxy-1,8-diphenoxyoctane. The structures and properties of synthesized polymers were investigated by $^1H$-NMR, FT-IR, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), polarized optical microscopy (POM) and wide angel X-ray diffraction (WXRD). Inherent viscosities (${\eta}_{inh}$) of polymers were measured between 0.35 and 0.66 dL/g in 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane, and they were easily soluble in most of organic solvents used for this experiment. All polymers revealed relatively low melting transition temperature ($T_m$) and crystallinity, and also showed thermotropic nematic liquid crystallinity when they were heated to their melting temperatures. These properties of polymers were presumably due to the presence of the bulky substituting groups on the hydroquinone unit in mesogenic group.

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.

The interactions between a rod-coil liquid crystalline oligomer, ethyl 4-[4'-oxy-4-biphenylcarbonyloxy]-4'-biphenylcarboxylate with poly(ethylene oxide) (DP=12) (12-4) and LiCF3SO3 have been characterized by using Raman spectroscopy. Band assignments were made comparing the spectrum of 12-4 with those of the poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether(PEGME) (Mw=550) and the ethyl-4'-hydroxybiphenyl-4-carboxylate (EHBPC), which are the coil and mesogen analogues, respectively. Analyzing characteristic bands of the 12-4-salt complex, we have found that the bands belonging to the coil and mesogenic units are changed in both intensities and frequencies. The spectral changes were interpreted from the viewpoint of the complexation between 12-4 and the Li+ ion. However, the possibility that the spectral changes in the mesogenic unit are not due to the complexation with the Li+ ion, but due to the conformational changes by the intercalation of nondissociated LiCF3SO3, is not ruled out.

Four bent-core compounds were synthesized introducing ester linking group into mesogenic unit, varying the central unit with 1,6-, 1,7-, 2,3-, and 2,7-naphthylenes, and placing the dodecyloxy group in the terminal flexible unit. The structures of four compounds were identified by FT-IR and $^1H$ NMR spectroscopy, and the results were in accordance with expected molecular formula. The mesomorphic properties were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and polarizing optical microscopy.
