A New Approach to Anisotropic Conductive Networks - A Liquid-Crystalline Side-Chain Polymer Containing a Thienyl Moiety at the Extremity of Its Side-Chain
A liquid-crystalline bifunctional monomer with two different reactive moieties was prepared by esterification of 4-(6-(acryloyloxy)hexyloxy)benzoic acid and 4-[11-(3-thienyl)undecyloxy]-4’-hydroxybiphenyl. A mesogenic side-chain polyacrylate containing a thienyl moiety at the extremity of its side chain was obtained by radical polymerization of the monomer. The subsequent reaction of the thienyl moiety with FeCl3 leads to the formation of an anisotropic network with a poly(thiophene) unit.
