    查看更多>>摘要:A bent-core compound with three benzene-ring cores 1,3-pnenylene-bis [4-(nonylcarboyloxyl)benzyl ideneamine] was synthesized. Its mesomorphic properties were characterized with differential scanning calorimetry and polarized optical microscopy, respectively. This kind of bent-core compound exhibited mesophases in the temperature range of 155-185℃ for the first cooling but cyclic heating and cooling could lower the phase transition temperatures for this bent-core liquid crystal. Our results demonstrated that bent-core molecules with three benzene-ring cores can also form mesophases as those five benzene-ring containing bent-core molecules do.

    查看更多>>摘要:A new kind of triphenylene derivative sym-(OC_3H_6OCOC_2H_4COOH)_6 with triphenylene at the core and carboxyl groups at the peripheral chains was synthesized and characterized by FT-IR and ~1H-NMR. Thermal gravimetry analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed that these compounds have a good thermal stability, which is dependent on the flexibility and interaction of the peripheral chains. Red shifts in electronic absorption spectra of the compounds were found in solution with increasing concentration.

    查看更多>>摘要:The microsphere copolymer [poly(St-co-HEMA)] of monodispersed styrene and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate(HEMA) was synthesized by suspension polymerization. New type of hydrophobic microsphere was synthesized by surface grafting polylactic acid using the hydroxyl-terminated of poly (St-co-HEMA) as initiator. The microspheres' structures and properties were characterized by FT-IR, SEM and thermogravimetric analysis. The results have demonstrated that the copolymer [poly(St-co-HEMA)] is a random copolymer. The volume of the polylactide which was grafted with the microspheres can be controlled by changing the amount of microspheres and hydroxyl in microspheres.

    查看更多>>摘要:A cholesteric liquid crystal cholesteryl nonanoate was synthesized and then characterized by means of differential scanning calorimetry and polarized optical microscopy. As temperature decreased from its clearing point, cholesteric phase was formed for cholesteryl nonanoate and accompanied by continuous evolution of colors in the focal conic textures. Furthermore, beautiful spherulite crystals were observed to grow out of the cholesteric phase as the crystallization continued. The evolution of the colors in recorded textures was contributed to temperature-dependent selective reflection of the liquid crystal.

    查看更多>>摘要:Polystyrene (PS) was synthesized by emulsion polymerization. The linear chloroacetylated PS was prepared high effectively by Friedel-Crafts acetylation of PS using chloroacetyl chloride and anhydrous aluminium chloride as chloroacetylation reagent and catalysts, respectively. The structure of chloroacetyl group is similar to that of chloromethyl group. In this method, carcinogenic compound (chloromethyl ether etc.) was avoided and the reactions of secondary cross link and multi-substitute could be eliminated. The resultant polymers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometery (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis. The effects of reaction conditions on chloroacetylation were studied, and the optimum reaction conditions were obtained. Chloroacetyl group was introduced into benzene ring of PS because of the appearance of the absorption peaks at 1695cm~(-1) (due to C=O bonds) and 644cm~(-1) (due to C-Cl bonds) in the FTIR spectrum. The thermal stability of the chloroacetylated PS was decreased with increasing chloroacetyl group. Moreover, there were two decomposing stages. The glass transition temperature of chloroacetylated PS increased with substitution value increasing. The effects of the reaction conditions such as reaction temperature, the solvent amount and the concentration of chloroacetyl chloride and anhydrous aluminium chloride on the chloroacetylation of PS were obvious. The certain loading can be controlled when it is lower than the maximum loading of chloroacetylated PS. The reaction condition is gentle and the operation is safe, simple and economical so that Friedel-Crafts acetylation of PS is an ideal reaction method.

    查看更多>>摘要:A series of disk-rod-disk liquid crystal trimers have been synthesized. Two triphenylene discogens have been connected to a biphenyl mesogen via CuI-NEt_3 catalyzed alkyne azide cycloaddition in toluene at room temperature. The trimers have been characterized by using ~1H NMR, IR, high resolution Mass spectra and the mesomorphic properties investigated with polarized optical microscopy (POM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and X-ray diffraction. The result shows that the trimers exhibited rectangular columnar mesophase (Col_r). The length of the flexible spacer connecting the three segments has important influence on the thermal behaviors of the trimers.

    Synthesis of zero-birefringence polymers based on positive and negative birefringence polymer

    查看更多>>摘要:Birefringence of a polymer is caused by polymer chain orientation during an injection-molding, extrusion processing or heat drawing. Birefringence of polymers degrades the performance of optical devices that require focusing by lenses or maintaining the polarization state of incident light. Optical polymers which exhibit no birefringence with any orientation of polymer chains are desirable to realize high performance optical devices that handle polarized light. In this study we demonstrate the random copolymerization method for synthesizing the zero-birefringence polymers in which positive and negative birefringence homopolymer are blended. We synthesize a polymer that exhibits no orientational birefringence with any orientation degree in a system that is composed of Methyl methacrylate/Styrene/Benzyl methacrylate.
