The thermotropic main chain polyester poly(decamethylene-4,4'-diphenox
y terephthalate) has been studied by FTIR spectroscopy. Tentative band
assignments are given for the spectra at room temperature. The FTIR e
xperiments were carried out as a function of the temperature and the t
hermal history in order to correlate the spectroscopic changes detecte
d in the corresponding spectra with the phase transitions of the liqui
d crystal polymer.
