Smectic ordering in side‐chain liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) and in LCP–silica nanocomposites (original) (raw)

Liquid Crystals, 2008

Abstract

The mesophase behaviour of a side‐chain liquid crystalline polyacrylate (LCP) grown by drying a solution has been investigated. This LCP, characterised by a short spacer (four carbon atoms) and a long tail (10 carbon atoms), displays, at increasing temperatures, SmC and SmAd phases. The effect of the mean molecular weight, i.e. the mean number of side chains per polyacrylate main
