Abstract

A study of the structure–property relationship of the highly π-conjugated Schiff-base moiety in polymerization of a liquid crystal (LC) diepoxide oligomer (PBMBA) and mesophases stabilization has been investigated. We first proposed two exothermic peaks distinctly observed in nonisothermal polymerization curves for thermal copolymerization of PBMBA monomer with a diamine comonomer that corresponded to two different reactions, namely, ...
