Effects of Hydrogen-Bonding on the Liquid Crystalline Properties of Dendritic Polymers

  • Chapter
Liquid Crystalline Polymers

  • 1804 Accesses

Abstract

A brief survey of the research on the role of intra and intermolecular hydrogen bonding on the liquid crystalline properties of dendritic polymers is presented. Cases where liquid crystalline character is attributed mainly (or perhaps exclusively) on hydrogen bonding are reported and classified. In addition a review on the variation of organization of such molecules as a function of temperature due to the presence of different types of hydrogen bonds is included. Some general conclusions and rules are suggested.
