Thermotropic Side Chain Liquid Crystal Polymers
Abstract A simplified representation of a polymer containing lath-like, side chain substituents is shown in Fig. 7.1(a) (cf. Table 1.1 in Chapter 1); the term ‘comb polymer’ is an attractive description for this type of structure. Each repeating unit contributes a short length of the comb’s spine and one tooth. As long as the motions of the polymer backbone do not unduly restrict the freedom of mesogenic teeth to form ordered assemblies, then we might expect such materials to reproduce, to some degree at least, any liquid crystal (LC) behaviour associated with the mesogen units as small-molecule liquid crystals (SMLCs). We have then a model for comb liquid crystal polymers (comb LCP) or side chain liquid crystal polymers (SCLCPs).1
