Synthesis and mesomorphic properties of side chain liquid-crystalline biphenyl-phenyl polyacrylates

The synthesis and characterization of two chiral side-chain liquid crystal based on polyacrylates having a biphenyl-phenyl system as a core unit are described. The chiral terminal chain is derived from L-isoleucine. In each case an undecyl spacer was used to connect the mesogenic group to the backbo...
