Structure and phase behaviour of polyazomethines having flexible (n-alkyloxy)methyl side chains

Phase structures and transition behaviors in polymers containing rigid rodlike backbones with flexible side chains. V. Methylene side‐chain effects on structure and molecular motion in a series of polyimides

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] The backbone structures commonly used are aromatic polyesters, polyamides, polybenzobisoxazoles, polyazomethenes, and polyglutamates. For flexible side chains, most of the studies concentrated on different lengths of alkyl side chains (different numbers of methylene units).…”

Synthesis and dipole–dipole interaction-induced mesomorphic behavior of poly(oxyethylene)s containing (n-octylsulfonyl)alkylthiomethyl or (n-octylsulfonyl)alkylsulfonylmethyl side groups

“…It has been known that the layer structures are determined by the structures of the backbones units, which was already claimed by several authors [26,31,38], then the side tails just change the layer distance in a linear manner [27,33,37 -44]. However, liquid crystalline poly(acrylate)s with fluoroalkyl side groups showed two types of layer structures according to the sidechain length as mentioned at the end of thermal behavior part of this paper [33].…”

“…Kim et al [38] proposed polyazomethines with different lengths of alkyloxy-methylene side chains, as presented in Fig. 2 (structure I).…”

“…Liquid crystalline aromatic polyazomethines with a rod shape have not been widely investigated [38,39]. Kim et al [38] proposed polyazomethines with different lengths of alkyloxy-methylene side chains, as presented in Fig.…”
