Abstract

Liquid-crystalline (LC) monomer, which was functionalized with a coumarin group on their extremity, was synthesized by UV light irradiation in their LC phases. LC monomer was converted into the dimers by the cycloaddition reaction of the coumarin group, and the LC phases were maintained after photodimerization reaction. The dimers showed LC phases in the wider temperature range than those of the corresponding monomer. Structures of the compound were identified by FT IR and $^1H$ NMR spectroscopies. Their phase transition temperatures and thermal stability were also investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), gel permeating chromatography (GPC) and polarized optical microscopy (POM). From optical polarizing microscopy, the prepared polymer shows enantiotropic liquid crystallinity with smectic and nematic textures.

Coumarin기가 포함된 액정성을 가진 단량체를 액정 상태에서 UV 조사에 의해 중합하였다. Cycloaddition 반응에 의해 coumarin 액정 단량체는 이량체로 전환되었으며, 광이량화 반응 후에도 액정성이 유지되었다. 그리고 이러한 이량체는 단량체의 액정범위 보다 넓은 영역에서 액정성을 나타내었다. 화합물의 구조는 FT IR 및 $^1H$ NMR에 의해 확인하였으며, 그들의 열적 상전이온도 및 열안정성들은 DSC, GPC 및 편광현미경에 의해 조사하였다. 광중합에 의해 생성된 고분자 생성물은 광학 편광 현미경 관찰에 의해 스멕틱 및 네마틱 조직을 갖는 쌍방성 액정성을 보였다.
