glass transition temperature of the polymer block to −25 from +20 °C, the Tg when an alkyl spacer was used. Although no distinct LC phase was observed with the polyoxyethylene spacer when MPOB was used, when BPP4 was attached via a polyoxyethylene spacer, a distinct liquid crystalline transition was observed. Polymers with an alkyl spacer exhibited liquid crystalline behavior and good phase segregation
合成了一系列具有侧链液晶的单体(SCLC)用于开环复分解聚合(ROMP)。所使用的液晶(LC)为4-羟基苯甲酸4-甲氧基苯基酯(MPOB -H)(已知具有向列液晶相)和联苯-4-羧酸4-(1-丁氧基羰基乙氧基)苯酯(BPP4- H),已知具有近晶相。侧链在间隔物长度,间隔物类型和LC的性质方面有所不同。使用双金属ROMP引发剂[Mo(NAr)(OCMe 3)2 CH] 2 C 6 H 4聚合单体(其中Ar = 2,6-二异丙基苯基); 制备了均聚物和ABA型三嵌段共聚物,其中B嵌段为LC官能单体,A为甲基四环二烯(MTD)。聚合物给出单峰峰分布,多分散度<1.22。当使用烷基间隔基时,聚氧乙烯间隔基的引入将聚合物嵌段的玻璃化转变温度从+ 20℃降低到-25,Tg为T g。尽管使用MPOB时,聚氧乙烯间隔基未观察到明显的LC相,但当使用BPP4时,经由聚氧乙烯间隔基附接了硅酮,观察到明显的液
