Abstract:The X-ray diffraction method was used to study the structure of mesogenic homo- and copolymers based on chiral and achiral acrylates (disubstituted biphenyl and phenylbenzoate) under the orienting influence of magnetic and (in some cases) electric fields. The analysis of diffraction patterns was carried out in terms of the Hosemann model of a paracrystal using structural modeling and diffraction calculations on models. It was established that chiral and achiral homopolymers form smectic bilayer polar structure… Show more
