Abstract
An amphiphilic liquid-crystalline block copolymer consisting of hydrophilic poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) and hydrophobic polymethacrylate with liquid-crystalline stilbene mesogens in the side chain (PMA(Stb)) was synthesized using reversible addition–fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The GISAXS and TEM measurements show that perpendicularly aligned P4VP cylinders are spontaneously formed in the PMA(Stb) matrix with a smectic layer of the liquid crystal through microphase separation.
