Smectic ordering of rod-like polymers owing to monodispersity of chain length: Synthesis and characterization of benzyl and (4-hexadecyloxy)benzyl esters of monodisperse derivatives of poly(alpha,L-glutamate)

Two types of monodisperse rod-like polymers, poly($\gamma$-benzyl $\alpha$,L-glutamate) (PBLG) and poly($\gamma$-4-(hexadecyloxy)benzyl $\alpha$,L-glutamate) with backbone sequences of have been prepared by chemical modification of monodisperse poly($\alpha$,L-glutamic acid) (PLGA) that was synthesi...
