A series of new azobenzene side chain liquid crystalline polymers were synthesized by two different azo mesogen monomers, 4-((4-(ethoxycarbonyl) phenyl) diazenyl) phenyl 4-(allyloxy) benzoate (M1) and (4-((4-(ethoxycarbonyl) phenyl) diazenyl) phenoxy) methyl acetyl 4-(allyloxy) benzoate (M2). All polymers (P1~P8) were synthesized by graft polymerization using polymethyl hydrosiloxane as backbone. Their chemical structures were confirmed by FTIR and 1HNMR spectra. The mesomorphic properties and phase behavior were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarizing optical microscopy (POM) and thermogravimetric analyzer (TG) measurements. The results showed that P1~P8 exhibited thermotropic liquid crystalline properties and revealed nematic thread texture with wide mesophase temperature ranges. The temperatures when 5% weight loss occurred were higher than 305°C, which declared that the synthesized azobenzene liquid crystalline polymers had a high thermal stability.
