Abstract
ABSTRACT Two series of chiral liquid crystal compounds were synthesised from benzoic acid containing cholesterol with different carbon-chain lengths and bisphenol monoester containing camphoric acid with different carbon-chain lengths, named BCP-C and DCP-C. The structure of the monomers is characterised by IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR, which indicate that the synthesised molecule conforms to the molecular design. The textures of monomers were characterised by POM, and their selective reflection was studied. It was found that the synthesised liquid crystal compounds exhibited good liquid crystal and optical properties. The phase transition behaviour was characterised using DSC, and the results were consistent with those observed by POM. TGA showed that they had good thermal stability.
