Abstract
Novel polystyrenes with mesogenic groups as p-substituents connected through disiloxane-containing spacer are synthesized by anionic and radical polymerization and characterized. Some polymers are found to show smectic phases. Influences of the position of the siloxane linkage in the spacer, molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of the polymer on liquid crystallinity are observed.
