Abstract

A series of monomers {2, 5-bis[(5-alkyl-phenyl)-1, 3, 4-oxadiazole] styrene} (BOXE) were designed and synthesized. By radical polymerization initiated BPO with a novel series of mesogen-jacketed polymers containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole were prepared. Molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of polymers were measured by GPC. The glass transition temperature (Tg) and thermal stability of polymers were studied by DSC and TGA. The results indicate that these polymers have good thermal stability. These liquid crystal polymers have well defined structure, and possess special photo-electronic properties.
