Abstract
In this paper we review results of the application of Raman scattering and infrared spectroscopy to the study of molecular dynamics in liqui d crystalline polymers. In particular we report on the study of molecu lar ordering and reorientation and illustrate the results we have obta ined in a newly synthesized class of side-chain liquid crystalline pol ymers belonging to the polyacrylate family. The physical basis and exp erimental methods necessary for the application of these techniques ar e also discussed in this paper.
