A liquid crystal composition, comprising a main chain-type mesomorphic polymer and a mesomorphic monomer and showing a smectic phase including a plurality of molecular layers, wherein a linkage of a covalent bond is present between adjacent molecular layers among the plurality molecular layers. Because of the presence of the covalent bond linkage between the molecular layers, the elastic energy of the liquid crystal per se relating to the elastic energy between the smectic liquid crystal molecular layers can be controlled to provide a uniform alignment. The mesomorphic polymer preferably has a structure represented by the following formula (1 ):
wherein A denotes a terminal flexible chain group, M denotes a mesogen group, F denotes a spacer flexible chain group, x is 0 or 1, B denotes an ester bond group, ether bond group, thioester bond group, dimethylsiloxane bond group or thioether bond group, and y is 1 - 200.
一种液晶组合物,由主链型介晶聚合物和介晶单体组成,并显示出包括多个分子层的晶相,其中多个分子层中的相邻分子层之间存在共价键连接。由于分子层之间存在共价键连接,因此可以控制液晶本身的弹性能与共晶液晶分子层之间的弹性能,以提供均匀的排列。介晶聚合物最好具有下式(1)所表示的结构:
其中 A 表示末端柔性链基团,M 表示中间基团,F 表示间隔柔性链基团,x 为 0 或 1,B 表示酯键基团、醚键基团、硫酯键基团、二甲基硅氧烷键基团或硫醚键基团,y 为 1 - 200。
