LIQUID CRYSTAL POLYMER

Liquid-crystalline polymers having a virtually uniform molecular weight are obtainable by polymerisation of identical or different monomers of the formula I in which the variables have the following meanings: R is hydrogen, chlorine or methyl; A is a flexible, long-chain moiety which acts as a space...

Zusammenfassung:Liquid-crystalline polymers having a virtually uniform molecular weight are obtainable by polymerisation of identical or different monomers of the formula I in which the variables have the following meanings: R is hydrogen, chlorine or methyl; A is a flexible, long-chain moiety which acts as a spacer; B is a mesogenic moiety built up from at least two aromatic rings linked to one another in a linear or approximately linear manner; C is an optically active, chiral moiety, in 0.01 to 0.1 molar solution in an inert organic solvent in the presence of from 1 to 40 mol %, based on the monomers, of a free-radical initiator at a temperature between 40 and 60 DEG C for from 100 to 140 hours, and subsequent isolation of the polymerisation product from the reaction mixture, and the use thereof for building up recording layers for laser-optical and electrical recording elements and for electrophotography and for the construction of liquid-crystalline display elements.
