A novel series of poly (2-chloroethyl glycidyl ether)-based side-chain liquid-crystalline copolymers has been synthesized in which the mesogenic units are biphenyl 4- methoxybiphenyl, 4-methoxyazobenzene, and N-benzylidene-4-methoxyaniline, respectively (corresponding polymers are referred to as PCBH, PCMB, PCMA, and PCBM). The structures of the compounds obtained are characterized by infrared (IR) and 1H ...
