Uniform Main-Chain Mesogenicity Flexible, Wormlike, Rodlike

1 Uniform Main-Chain Mesogenicity Flexible, Wormlike, Rodlike 

Recalling from Eq. (2) that each Kuhn segment equals two persistence lengths [53], we find that for a wormlike chain a minimum of 

Typical examples of LPCs with uniform main-chain mesogenidty will now be described. The aromatic ones will be presented only briefly here for the purpose of logical presentation. The preparation of linear and network aromatic LCPs will be delayed to sect. 3 and discussed there in substantial detail. 

Substituent placement is random Copoly(alkyl + aralkylisocyanates) 

In a fashion similar to many polyphosphazenes [183], the backbone conformation in mesogenic polyisocyanates is generally cis-trans, and the chain
