TL;DR: In this paper, Cationic bulk polymerization of liquid crystalline phenyl benzoate and biphenyl vinyl ethers was performed using either thermal or photochemical initiation by onium salts.

TL;DR: In this article, the precursors of poly-p-phenylenes have been identified and their copolymers and their substituents are discussed, which are useful as membranes, coatings, fibers and articles.

TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis of functional aromatic bis(sulfonyl chlorides) containing an acetophenone and two sulfonyl chloride groups was described, involving in the last step the quantitative oxidative chlorination of S-(aryl)- N,N'-diethylthiocarbamate, alkyl- or benzyl thiophenyl groups as masked nonreactive precursors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of thermotropic polyethers synthesized from 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl) - 2 - (2 - methyl - 4 - hydroxymhenyl)- ethane and α,ω-dibromo-n-alkanes with odd numbers of methylene units (MBPE-n = odd) was studied.

TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis of polymers of unique structure by the cation-radical polymerization reactions has been studied under a variety of experimental conditions, including the effects of the monomer structure on the reactivity of both the monomers and of the Cation-Radial growing species, and an example in which the polymerization proceeds by both a cation radical reaction and an electrophilic transalkylation reaction is provided by the polymerisation of 2,2-bis[4-(1-naphthoxy)phenyl]propane initiated with Fe
