摘要
nd X-ray diffraction. The selective reflection of light for the chiral monomers was studied with UV/visible/near IR. The effect of the crosslinking agent content on the phase transition temperatures of the elastomers was discussed. It was found that these chiral monomers seemed beneficial for the formation of the mesophases when a flexible spacer was inserted between the mesogenic core and the terminal menthyl groups. All obtained chiral monomers showed a cholesteric phase, chiral smectic C phase, and cubic blue phase. The crosslinking agent exhibited a smectic A (S-A) phase and nematic phase. However, their corresponding homopolymers with siloxane chains tended to form a lower order S-A phase. With an increase of the mesogenic rigidity, the melting temperatures, glass transition temperatures (T (g)), and isotropic temperatures (T (i)) of chiral monomers or homopolymers all increased. For the elastomers, general tend To investigate liquid crystalline properties and structure relationships of chiral compounds based on menthol, a series of new chiral monomers derived from menthol derivatives, a mesogenic crosslinking agent, the corresponding side chain homopolymers with siloxane backbone, and cholesteric elastomers were synthesized. The structures and purity of these chiral compounds obtained in this study were characterized using FTIR, H-1 NMR, and elemental analyses. The mesomorphism and thermal stabilities were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, aency was toward increased T (g) and T (i) with increasing the crosslinking agent content.
