Volume 2: Processing and Applications

Liquid-crystalline polymers (LCPs) constitute an important class of materials that represents new advanced organic functional materials combining both anisotropic order of liquid crystals and excellent mechanical properties of polymers. These are one of the most important macromolecular systems having the capability of selforganization because of their unique molecular architectures with high anisotropy. The most distinguished feature of LCPs lies in that they exhibit intermediate
morphological states between crystalline (or glassy) and liquid states, where macromolecular chains can be self-organized into a wide spectrum of ordered structures such as nematic, smectic, and cholesteric mesophases. Since last few years, study on LCPs has been a flourishing research field due to their broad promising applications in various high-technology areas such as various organic optoelectronic applications, nonlinear optical materials, tunable diffraction gratings, thermal insulated materials, and the high-performance Kevlar fiber. Over the past decades, numerous endeavors have been made to rationally design and synthesize LCPs with controllable supramolecular structures. When mesogenic groups, such as calamitic, discotic, and bent-cored ones, are introduced into polymers, liquid crystalline (LC) phases may form, resulting in LC polymers (LCPs). LCPs can be classified into several general categories based on their architecture and position of mesogens in the polymer chain. Most frequently, LCPs are categorized into three types, namely, main-chain (MCLCPs), side-chain (SCLCPs), or main-chain/sidechain combined (MCSCLCPs) LCP, depending on where mesogenic units are incorporated.
