Abstract

Polyacrylates and polymethacrylates having various 1, 3, 2-dioxaborinane derivatives as pendants have been synthesized and demonstrated to form chiral smectic C and/or smectic A phases which are more stable than those formed by the corresponding monomes. They provide a new family of chiral liquid crystalline side-chain polymers containing boron atoms in the pendant group.
