Abstract

AbstractCombined liquid‐crystalline polymers containing azobenzene and azoxybenzene as the mesogenic groups and 2‐octanol as the chiral end‐group were synthesized and characterized. These polymers exhibit cholesteric, smectic A, and chiral smectic C* phases with monolayer and doublelayer structures. The polymers with azoxy groups do not crystallize upon cooling. Therefore, some of the liquid‐crystalline phases can be frozen in in the glassy state.
