Main-chain liquid-crystalline polyurethanes were synthesized based on a high aspect ratio mesogenic diol (4-{[4-(6-hydroxyhexyloxy)-phenylimino]-methyl}-benzoic acid 4-([4-(6-hydroxyhexyloxy)-phenyliminol-methyl)-phenyl ester) as a chain extender; polycaprolactone (PCL) diol soft segments of different number-average molecular weights (530, 1250, or 2000); and different diisocyanates, including 1,4-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDI), 4,4'-methylene bis(cyclohexyl isocyanate) (H12MDI), and 4,4'-methylene bis(phenyl isocyanate) (MDI). The structure of the polymers was confirmed with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry and polarizing microscopy measurements were carried out to examine the liquid-crystalline and thermal properties of the polyurethanes, respectively. The mesogenic diol was partially replaced with 20-50 mol % PCL. A 20 mol % mesogen content was sufficient to impart a liquid crystalline property to all the polymers. The partial replacement of the mesogenic diol with PCL of various molecular weights, as well as the various diisocyanates, influenced the phase transitions and the occurrence of mesophase textures. Characteristic liquid-crystalline textures were observed when a sufficient content of the mesogenic diol was present. Depending on the flexible spacer length and the mesogenic content, grained and threadlike textures were obtained for the HMDI and H12MDI series polymers, whereas the polyurethanes prepared from MDI showed only grained textures for all the compositions. The polymers formed brittle films and could not be subjected to tensile tests.
