“…[10][11][12] In the past few decades, many MJLCPs have been designed with novel structures and potential for applications as electroluminescent materials, [13][14][15][16][17] birefringent lms for optical compensators, 18 surface-modifying agents 19 and so on. MJLCPs with side-chain cores based on 2-vinylhydroquinone, 11 2-vinyl-1,4-phenylenediamine, 20 2-vinylterephthalic acid, [21][22][23] vinyl terphenyl, 24,25 and vinyl biphenyl [26][27][28][29] have been synthesized. Various LC phases have been obtained, such as hexagonal columnar (F H ) phases, [30][31][32] columnar nematic (F N ) phases, 22,28 hexatic columnar nematic (F HN ) phases, 22,23 rectangular columnar (F R ) phases, 33 and smectic A (S m A) and smectic C (S m C) phases.…”
