Abstract
The differences in the Langmuir film properties of a liquid crystalline homopolymer, its corresponding mesogenic side group moiety, and two copolymers are discussed. The results from Brewster angle microscopy are compared with those from the standard methods that are commonly used to infer the structure of a monolayer (i.e., isotherms). As expected, the viscosity and stability of the films increased for the homopolymer while the onset mean molecular area (MmA) remained similar to that of the monomer
