Functional polymers and sequential copolymers by phase transfer catalysis. 9. Synthesis and characterization of α,ω‐di[2‐(p‐phenoxy)‐2‐oxazoline] oligomers
TL;DR: Preparation par deux methodes: 1) etherification par transfert de phase d'un polymere α,ω dielectrophile avec la p-hydroxyphenyl-2 oxazoline-2(I) 2) extension de chaine par transfERT de phase D'Un polymereα,ω diphenol avec le chlorure de methylene (II) ou polyetherification d'Un bisphenol in presence de (I).

Living radical polymerization of activated and nonactivated monomers containing electron-withdrawing side groups
TL;DR: In this paper, a method of polymerizing an alkene monomer to produce a polymer using a catalyst that is Cu(O), Cu2Te, CuSe, Cu2S, or a combination thereof, an initiator, and a component comprising a solvent and optional nitrogen-containing ligand, where the combination of the component and monomer is capable of diproportionating Cu(I)X into Cu (O) and Cu(II)X2 where X is Cl, Br, or I.

TL;DR: In this paper, the mesomorphic behavior of poly(methylsiloxane)s containing 4-methoxy-4'-hydroxy-trans-alpha-methylstilbene (4-n-PS) and 4-hydroxy -4'-methoxene-trans-, alpha-methyl-stilbenes (4'-n-ps) connected to the backbone by flexible spacers containing three, six and eleven (n = 3, 6, 11) methylene units, and some copolymers based on these two constitutional isomeric mes
Journal ArticleDOI
Liquid Crystalline Polyethers.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review recent work from our laboratory on structural principles and their use in the synthesis of thermotropic-lyotropic main chain liquid crystalline (LC) polyethers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nearly-second-order nematic-isotropic phase transition in a cyclic thermotropic liquid crystal
TL;DR: In this article, a cyclic trimeric liquid crystal above the uniaxial nematic-isotropic phase transition temperature was found to be linear in temperature, such that the quantity was less than 200 mK, where the supercooling limit of the isotropic phase.
