R. Diaz-calleja et al., Relaxation and conformational studies on thermotropic side chains liquid crystalline polymers, J MOL STRUC, 479(2-3), 1999, pp. 135-147
The relaxation activity (mechanical as well as dielectrical), of a thermotr
opic side chain liquid crystalline polymer was analyzed. The effects of the
orientation of the mesogenic group under electrical fields were also studi
ed. Conformational studies with reference to the motions into the mesophase
reveal that there are many possible conformations to give account of the m
acroscopic experimental results. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights
