TL;DR: In this paper , a brief review article dedicated to the 45th anniversary of the discovery of discotic liquid crystals and to the memory of Professor Sivaramakrishna Chandrasekhar, a modest, respectful and great scientist.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nematic, smectic and columnar phases of main‐chain liquid crystal polyethers

TL;DR: In this paper, a number of interesting thermotropic mesophases and transitions occur in main-chain polyethers and copolyethers based on aliphatic spacers and various semi-flexible mesogens of the general 1-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(2-R-4-hydroxymhenyl)ethane (RBPE) or 1-( 4'-hydroxybiphenyl-4]-4-yl)propane (TPP) type.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recherches sur la polymerisation des derives acetyleniques

TL;DR: In this article, the stabilite thermique de certains polymeres non satures de la classe des polyacetylenes, tels que polyphenylacetylene, poly-para-chlorophenylacetylene, and polypara metylphenylethylacetylene are analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis of soluble polyarylenes containing alternating 4,4′-(1,1′-binaphthyl) and 4,4′-(3,3′-diphenyl)biphenyl structural units

TL;DR: In this article, the Ni(0) catalyzed homocoupling polymerization of 4,4′-bis[5-(trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy)-2-biphenylyl]-1, 1′-binaphthyl (9) is described.
