A new organometallic palladium coordinated liquid crystal that was written by PdS6 had been synthesized by chelating reaction of the tetrachloropalladate (PdCl42-) and the star-like liquid crystal (S6) containing four hexyloxyazobenzene mesogens in its periphery. The structure and liquid crystallinity (LC) of PdS6 were characterized by infrared absorption spectroscopy (IR), ultraviolet absorption spectra (UV), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), elemental analysis (EA), polarizing optical microscope (POM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The phase behavior of PdS6 was Cr155N230I205N160Cr, its melting point and clearing temperature were higher than those of the free azo ligand S6, its mesophase range wass broader than S6’s. It will be used as a new type photoelectric functional material in the future.

A new organometallic palladium coordinated liquid crystal that is written by PdS4 has been synthesized by chelating reaction of the tetrachloropalladate (PdCl42-) and the star-like liquid crystal (S4) containing four butoxyazobenzene mesogens in its periphery. The structure and liquid crystallinity (LC) of PdS4 were characterized by infrared absorption spectroscopy (IR), ultraviolet absorption spectra (UV), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), elemental analysis (EA), polarizing optical microscope (POM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The phase behavior of PdS4 is Cr167N232I200N170Cr, its melting point and clearing temperature are higher than those of the free azo ligand S4, its mesophase range is broader than S4’s. It will be used as a new type photoelectric functional material in the future.

A series of new main-chain liquid-crystal polymers (LCPs) were prepared from sebacoyl chloride (SD) and various amount of 4, 4-Dihydroxy-2, 2-dimethyl Benzalazine (DDBA) and isosorbide (ISO). The liquid crystal (LC) properties were investigated by polarized optical microscope (POM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction measurements. P1 exhibited a typical nematic thread texture, which contains no ISO. P2-P7 are Sc* and N LCPs, which exhibited broken fan-shaped texture and droplet texture. The introduction of chiral units into the polymers led to a change of mesomorphase, as compared with P1.

Two series containing 1,3-bis(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)benzene as a rigid core (RC) and alkyl or perfluoroalkyl as terminal chains were synthesized and characterized. Liquid Crystal properties of the synthesized compounds have been investigated by Polarizing Optical Microscopy, Differential Scanning Calorimetry and X-ray Diffraction techniques. Conformation effects of the synthesized products on the dipole moments were also investigated.

New amphiphilic dendritic peptides on dendritic polyaspartic acid were designed and synthesized. The organogel and liquid crystal properties of these amphiphilic dendritic peptides were fully studied by field-emission SEM, temperature dependent FT-IR, differential scanning calorimetry, polarization optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction experiments. Amphiphilic dendritic peptides G3 show good organogel properties with a minimum gelation concentration as low as 1 wt %. Furthermore, amphiphilic dendritic peptides G3 can form a hexagonal columnar liquid crystal assembly over a wide temperature range.

A series of N-substituted polyether-block-amide (PEBA-X%) copolymers were prepared by melt polycondensation of nylon-6 prepolymer and polytetramethylene ether glycol at an elevated temperature using titanium isopropoxide as a catalyst. The structure, thermal properties, and crystallinity of PEBA-X% were investigated using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, wide angle X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. In general, the crystallinity, melting point, and thermal degradation temperature of PEBA-X% decreased as the incorporation of N-methyl functionalized groups increased, owing to the disruption caused to the structural regularity of the copolymer. However, in N-acetyl functionalized analogues, the crystallinity first dropped and then increased because of a new γ form arrangement that developed in the microstructure. After the cross-linking reaction of the N-methyl-substituted derivative, which has electron-donating characteristics, with poly(4,4′-methylenebis(phenyl isocyanate), the decomposition temperature of the resulting polymer significantly increased, whereas no such improvements could be observed in the case of the electro-withdrawing N-acetyl-substituted derivative, because of the incompleteness of its cross-linking reaction.

Six S,S-dialkyl acetals 2a-f of inosose (1), tripodal in structure, have been synthesized, characterized and investigated by optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (d.s.c.). The four S,S-acetals 2c-f with sufficiently long alkyl chains are thermotropic liquid crystalline; 2 e and 2 f are even dithermomesomorphic. Each of these four inosose derivatives 2c-f exhibits monotropically a most likely cubic mesophase (MI); in addition 2e and 2f show enantiotropically a hexagonal mesophase (Hx) with a non-covalent, supramolecular H-bridge architecture. Whereas the nature of the optically isotropic mesophase MI needs further clarification the stable high temperature mesophase Hx of 2 e and 2 f has been established by a miscibility test using a sugar S,S-dialkyl acetal also tripodal in structure and with a Hx phase proved by X-ray diffraction, but in contrast to 2 with an acyclic hydrophilic part. Similarities of structural features between the Hx-phases of 2e and 2f as well as of other thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystal systems are discussed briefly.

Polypropylene (PP)/Maleic anhydride grafted poly (ethylene-octene) (POEg) were prepared by melt blending method. The crystallization behavior and crystal morphology were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and polarzing optical microscope (POM). Differential scanning colorimetry (DSC) experiments showed that the melting point and crystallization point decreased when POEg added to the blend. XRD results show that the POEg not change the crystal structure in the blends but only decrease the intensity of the diffraction peak. The spherulitic structure could also observed when added POEg to the matix of PP, but the shape of the spherulites distorted.

AbstractHydrogen bonded liquid crystal (HBLC) binary mixture has been synthesized from mesogenic 4-methoxycinnamic acid (4MCA) and mesogenic 4-hexyloxybenzoic acid (6OBA) with different mole ratio. The mesomorphic phase behavior and corresponding phase transition temperatures along with the enthalpy values were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The characteristic textures of 4MCA+6OBA binary mixture were observed by using polarizing optical microscope (POM). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic (FT-IR) studies confirm the formation of hydrogen bond in the present binary mixture. A note worthy observation in this complex is that pure mesogens have no smectic phase where as 4MCA+6OBA binary mixture exhibits a nematic phase along with higher order smectic C (Sm C) phase. Variation of mole ratio influences thermal properties such as phase peak, enthalpy values and thermal span width of the present HBLC binary mixture complex. The optical tilt angle of 4MCA+6OBA for smectic C phase and thermal stability factors have been investigated. Optical tilt angle for smectic C phase is determined and same is fitted to a power law.

In this study, we provide the experimental results of the binary blends of a semi-flexible nematic liquid crystal polymer (LCP1) and polycarbonate (PC) within their phase diagram. The LCP1/PC blends were investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Optical Microscopy (OM), Wide-angle X-Ray Diffraction (WXRD), Fourier Transfer Infrared (FTIR), Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC), and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) techniques and observed the evidence of chemical reaction between LCP1 and PC in their heat-treated blends possibly by transesterification mechanism.
