Smectic liquid crystalline diacrylate monomers

TOPOCHEMICALLY CONTROLLED POLYMERIZATION OF A SMECTIC LIQUID CRYSTALLINE DIACRYLATE MONOMER... [Pg.361]

The amorphous diacrylate monomers chosen for study were two commercially available monomers, p-phenylene diacrylate (PPDA) and 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA) (Polysciences, Inc., Warrington, PA). The liquid crystalline diacrylate studied was 1,4-di-(4-(6-acryloyloxyhexyloxy)benzoyloxy)-2-methylbenzene (C6M) (13). Chemical structures of these monomers as well as pertinent physical and LC properties are given in Figure 1. All monomers were used without further purification. The ferroelectric liquid crystal mixture consisted of a 1 1 mixture of W7 and W82 (1) (Displaytech, Boulder, CO). This mixture exhibits isotropic (I), smectic A... [Pg.18]

To determine if this phenomenon is isolated to amorphous monomers, a liquid crystalline diacrylate (C6M) was polymerized in W7,W82 at temperatures corresponding to the two smectic phases as well as the isotropic phase. The polymerization rate for C6M is plotted as a function of time for representative temperatures in Figure 6. Again, the polymerization shows marked acceleration in the ordered smectic C phase and occurs much faster than the isotropic polymerization. As seen in the HDDA polymerizations, the smectic A rate also lies between the rates of the other two polymerization temperatures. [Pg.24]
