Two types of liquid crystal poly(fumarate)s having cyanobiphenyl mesogen in side chain were prepared by radical polymerization of disubstituted fumarate monomers in bulk. The mesogen is thus connected via alkyl spacer to every carbon atom in the main chain. The liquid crystalline temperature range expands with an increase in the molecular weight and with alkyl chain spacer length. The poly(fumarate)s form a smectic A(d) phase whose layer spacing decreases and increases on heating and cooling, respectively. The contraction ratio is up to 15.2%. This significantly large change in the layer spacing corresponds to temperature dependence of the orientational order parameter. It may be connected to high density of the mesogen hanging from the main chain.
