THE SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SOME LIQUID CRYSTALLINE POLYESTERS BASED UPON THE OXYBENZOATE - TEREPHTHALATE MESOGENIC UNIT

Several series of thermotropic polyesters were prepared by solution polymerization methods using various specially prepared diols and diacid chlorides. The effect that different flexible spacers and mesogenic units based on oxybenzoate terephthalate dyads and triads had on liquid crystallinity was s...
