Abstract

This paper is a review of recent work performed in our department on highly oriented side-chain liquid crystalline polymers made from aligned mesomorphic vinyl ether monomers. The chemistry involved in making the polymers, the techniques used for obtaining alignment of the monomers, the physical structure of the oriented polymers, and the dielectric relaxation are the presented topics. Thermal stabilization by crosslinking using bifuctional vinyl ether monomers is also described. Crosslinked polymers exhibited an almost reversible degree of mesogen group orientation after heating to 200°C.
