The investigation of some novel polysiloxane liquid crystal systems.
A range of liquid crystal units based on mainly phenyl benzoate esters have been synthesised and characterised. These have been attached to polysiloxane systems to form ring, linear and elastomeric polymer liquid crystals. The effect of system purity on the phase transitions of the ring materials …

Epoxy + Liquid Crystalline Epoxy Coreacted Networks
Molecular reinforcement through in-situ polymerization of liquid crystalline epoxies (LCEs) and a non-liquid crystalline epoxy has been investigated. Three LCEs: diglycidyl ether of 4,4'-dihydroxybiphenol (DGE-DHBP) and digylcidyl ether of 4-hydroxyphenyl-4"-hydroxybiphenyl-4'-carboxylate …
