Chiral liquid-crystalline polyacrylates from (S)-(-)-2-methyl-1-butanol. Synthesis, mesomorphic properties and light scattering

The synthesis and mesomorphic behavior of two chiral side chain liquid crystalline polyacrylates from (S)-(-)-2-methyl-1-butanol are described. These new polyacrylates show a dependence of the phase transition temperatures on both, molecular weight and spacer length. The polyacrylate with four methy...
