V. Kannappan et al., SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF CERTAIN THERMOTROPIC LIQUID-CRYSTALLINE RANDOM COPOLYESTERS CONTAINING ANTHRAQUINONE MESOGEN, Journal of macromolecular science. Pure and applied chemistry, A31, 1994, pp. 579-595
Six random copolyesters containing anthraquinone mesogen were synthesi
sed by solution polymerisation. These were characterised by viscosity
measurements, spectral data, WAXD studies and SEM investigations. The
thermotropic liquid crystalline behaviour of these polymers was invest
igated by optical polarising microscopy.
