Abstract
AbstractThe synthesis and characterization of liquid‐crystalline polymers with possible good adhesive properties is reported. These polymers are prepared by alternating copolymerization of maleic anhydride and mesogenic alkenes. The spacer length m is varied (m = 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 9) and methoxybiphenyl is used as the mesogenic group. The glass transition temperature decreases and the isotropization temperature increases with spacer length. Depending on the spacer length and temperature, SB and SAd mesophases can be observed. After annealing, spin‐coated films of these polymers show very regular layered structures with a layer spacing similar to that in the bulk.
