Living Polymerizations used to Synthesize Side Chain Liquid Crystalline Polymers

2 Living Polymerizations used to Synthesize Side Chain Liquid Crystalline Polymers 

The elementary synthetic and structural principles of SCLCPs are now being elucidated using living polymerizations in which the effect of a single structural feature can be isolated, while other structural variables remain constant. In particular, living polymerizations are used to determine the molecular weight at which the thermotropic be-
