Synthesis and properties of polyacetylene copolymer with liquid crystal and stable radical substituents
We synthesized the polyacetylene copolymers consisting of acetylene segments with a liquid crystal and stable radical group for magnetic polymer. The copolymers show liquid crystallinity in both the heating and cooling processes. The ESR measurement of the copolymer revealed an orientational behavior of the copolymer for alignment of the liquid crystalline (LC) substituents and spin Species.
