Journal ArticleDOI
Cationic bulk polymerization of mesogenic vinyl ethers induced by thermal decomposition of sulfonium salts
TL;DR: In this article, liquid crystalline vinyl ethers have been bulk polymerized cationically in the mesophase using onium salts for thermal initiation, and the polymerization system stabilizes the propagating cation and thus reduces chain transfer reactions that are determining the molecular mass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-organization of a liquid crystalline methacrylate-monofunctionalized crown-ether compound in low-shrinkage acrylate mixtures
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of a crystalline network and the shape of the crystals strongly depend on the cooling rate of the methacrylate monomers, and it was demonstrated that at low temperatures, gel formation by elongated crystals of 1 was observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Termination by reductive elimination in the polyetherification of bis(aryl chlorides), activated by carbonyl groups, with bisphenolates
Journal ArticleDOI
Donor-acceptor complexation in macromolecular systems
TL;DR: In this article, donor-acceptor macromolecular crosslinking was studied for intermolecular thermoreversible cross-linking, and the results showed that donor macromoles exhibit unique dynamic mechanical properties over a broad range of frequency and temperature when compared with those of the components.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and characterization of liquid crystalline copolymethacrylates, copolyacrylates, and copolysiloxanes containing 4-methoxy-4′-hydroxy-α-methylstilbene and 4-hydroxy-4′-methoxy-α-methylstilbene constitutional isomers as side-groups
TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of methacrylates and acryls containing 4-methoxy-4′-hydroxy-α-methylstilbene and 4-hydroxymethylstilbenbenes through flexible spacers containing 11, 8, 6, 3, and respectively 2 methylenic units is described.
