Phase Behaviors

Thermal properties and phase behaviors of series of newly synthesized copolyacrylate esters with oligomeric-L-LA (OLLA) segments (DP = 10-40) and mesogens as side chains were characterized. The OLLAs prepared by ring opening polymerization of L-LA with active HO-group were modified to form polymerizable acrylate esters and then copolymerized with polymerizable mesogens. The thermal behaviors of these copolyacrylate esters were studied by DSC and POM measurements and phase structures by XRD measurements. The mesogens showed very good induce effect on the formation of layered structures. CD measurements were used to determine the helical structure and the optical rotation power of the side chain copolyacrylate esters.

AbstractThe synthesis of two series of side-chain liquid crystalline polyoxetanes and polyoxiranes containing 4-alkanyloxybiphenyl-4′ -yl (2S,3S)-2-chloro-3-methylvalerate side groups is presented. Differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy, and X-ray diffractometry reveal smectic mesomorphism for all obtained polymers. Most of the prepared polyoxetanes present smectic A and chiral smectic C phases. The polyoxetane containing tweleve methylene units in the spacer is the only one showing two enantiotropic smectic A and B phases. All of the obtained polyoxiranes display two enantiotropic smectic A and B phases. Although the polyoxetane and polyoxirane backbones are more flexible than the polymethacrylate backbone, side-chain crystallization do not occur in any of the synthesized polymers.

A ‘Switch’ catalysis method is reviewed whereby a single catalyst is switched between ring-opening polymerization and ring-opening copolymerization cycles. It allows the efficient synthesis of block copolymers from mixtures of lactones, epoxides, anhydrides and carbon dioxide. In order to use and further develop such ‘Switch’ catalysis, it is important to understand how to monitor the catalysis and characterize the product block copolymers. Here, a step-by-step guide to both the catalysis and the identification of block copolymers is presented. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue ‘Providing sustainable catalytic solutions for a rapidly changing world’.
