Liquid crystalline copolymers with cholesteryl as mesogenic group
In this paper, the synthesis and characterization of copolymers obtained from free-radical copolymerization of maleic anhydride with mesogenic l-alkene and with mesogenic acrylates are presented. The mesomorphic properties were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarizing optical microscopy.
