ABSTRACTWe have investigated the effect of various processing variables on the magnetic field orientation of a liquid crystalline epoxy. By using a modified fractional factorial design, we created an empirical model which can be used to predict the degree of orientation as a function of these variables. The model predicts the correct qualitative trends, namely that orientation increases with increasing magnetic field strength, increases with increasing time in the field, and decreases with increasing B-staging. The model also reveals some surprising effects of B-staging on the degree of orientation.

ABSTRACTLiquid crystalline epoxy networks have been prepared from glycidyl terminated polyether oligomers of varying molecular weight. These oligomers were prepared by functionalizing hydroxy terminated oligomers based on 4,4'- dihydroxy-α-methylstilbene and α,ω-dibromoalkanes with glycidyl groups. Curing of these oligomers was carried out either within their nematic mesophase or in their isotropic state. Different thermal properties were observed after curing under these two sets of conditions. Extremely low values of the coefficient of thermal expansion in the range of 15 to 60 ppm/°C were achieved. To produce aligned thermosets, orientation of the liquid crystalline phase was induced during the curing process by a magnetic field. Orientation of these networks was measured by wide angle x-ray diffraction (WAXD).
