Abstract
Polymerization of discotic acrylic monomer was studied in bulk and solution . It was shown that the composition and the degree of polymerization of acr ylic copolymers based on the discotic monomer and hydroxyethyl acrylate are significantly affected by the composition of solvent, It is suggested that the presence of structural "stocks" in the monomer system is a decisive fa ctor in the polymerization of monomers bearing triphenyl substituents, whic h are capable of forming LC phases of the discotic type.
