Abstract
In this paper we describe the synthesis of diblock and triblock copolymers containing one main-chain discotic liquid crystalline block and one or two polyethyleneoxy blocks, respectively. Evidence for the desired microphase s eparation is provided by DSC and both polarising microscopy and low angle X -ray show the presence of separated liquid crystalline columnar discotic do mains.
