Abstract
A nematic liquid crystalline polymalonate has been synthesized by melt polycondensation of a nonlinear optical (NLO) monomer and a liquid cr ystalline (LC) monomer. The polymer was characterized by VPO, FTIR, DS C, WAXD, UV-visible spectroscopy and polarized optical microscopy. The LC temperature interval was found between 398 K and 420 K by DSC. Som e interactions originated from the attachment of the side groups to th e polymer backbone were detected by UV-vis spectroscopy.
