Abstract

AbstractThe conformation of chain molecules participating variously in the formation of liquid crystalline mesophase has been elucidated. Two examples are mentioned: (1) the side chain flanking the α‐helical backbone of polypeptides, and (2) the spacer joining mesogenic units in mainchain liquid crystals. Flexible segments play an important role in determining thermodynamic properties of these systems.
