Abstract:Two different twin liquid-crystalline diglycidyl ethers containing azomethine moieties were synthesized and characterized and their mesomorphic behaviors, thermal properties, and mechanical properties were compared. It was found that 4,4 0 -di(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-N-benzylidene-o-tolidine-cured systems gave higher thermal and mechanical properties than 3,3 0 -dimethoxy-4,4 0 -di(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-Nbenzylidene-o-tolidine-cured systems. All liquid-crystalline behaviors exhibited by the products were found to be in … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
