Abstract
A new class of liquid crystal side chain polymers has been synthesized, where the mesogenic groups are laterally attached to the polymer backbone. The monomeric liquid crystals are laterally substituted with an alkyl chain having a methacrylic ester group in the ω-position. While the monomers exhibit a metastable nematic phase with respect to the crystalline state, the polymers are liquid crystalline in a broad temperature range above the glass transition temperature.
