| Research Abstract |
In this study, we focused our attention on(controlled) radical(co) polymerization of various cyclic vinyl monomers for the purpose of preparing liquid crystalline vinyl polymers based on their main-chain stiffness. We conducted radical(co) polymerization of cyclic styrene and olefin derivatives and found that the obtained(co) polymers possess more rigid backbone than the conventional vinyl polymers. Especially, 3, 8-dimethylacenaphthylene and N cyclohexylmaleimide based copolymer showed the lyotropic liquid crystallinity.
