Abstract
Three series of malonate side chain liquid crystalline polymers designed for use in nonlinear optics have been synthesized and their thermal behavior examined. All nine polymers are enantiotropic mesogens. Thermal annealing in the mesophase can increase the mesophase-isotropic temperature presumably by continued polymerization during annealing. The pyridine compounds, compared to the analogous benzene compounds, have greater mesomorphic thermal stability and show a greater tendency for smectic phases.Keywords
