Rigid rod epoxy compounds can be cured in liquid crystalline structure. The so obtained networks exhibit better mechanical properties with respect to the isotropic ones. The mesogenic character of the epoxy compounds appears more crucial than the molecular geometry of the curing agent in developing liquid crystallinity. The curing temperature plays an important role in affecting the state of order of the thermosets.
The title compound has two crystal phases related by an enantiotropic single-crystal-to-single-crystal transition and a nematic liquid crystalline phase before transition to the isotropic liquid phase.
Abstract In the current protocol, amine functionalized montmorillonite K10 nanoclay (NH 2 -MMT) was applied to catalyze the formation of CN bonds in the synthesis of azines and 2-aminothiazoles at room temperature. In comparison with the current methods of CNbondformation, this approach displays specific advantages include atom economy, clean conversion, design for energy efficiency, the use of
