5 Preface The subject of liquid crystals and their use in electronic displays and in non-linear optical systems has become of tremendous importance during the last decade; and the incorporation of liquid crystal units into polymeric materials has led to a group of new materials with diverse properties. Some of these properties have been utilized in new products and some have yet to be used. Much published work has appeared that deals with specific materials or particular applications, and it was felt that a book was needed to examine and explain the underlying principles governing the diverse properties of these liquid crystal polymers, LCPs. The current work describes the diverse nature of LCPs, their synthesis, characterization, properties and finally their applications. It describes the manner in which liquid crystallinity or mesomorphism occurs in small molecules, monomer liquid crystals and polymer liquid crystals. Chapter 1 gives a classification of the various ways in which the mesogens may be connected to the polymer chains. Currently, the bulk of LCP material is based on main chain or longitudinal LCPs for use in engineering applications. The side chain or comb polymers are intended for use in electronics and opto-electronic systems and as surfactants. Many other variants and possibilities exist but their properties have not yet been fully studied or used. In this respect it is hoped that the current work will indicate future possibilities as well as discussing current opinion. v
6 vi Preface Chapters 2 and 3 describe methods of characterizing the mesophases. In the former a comprehensive guide to textures is given. Chapter 4 describes the dielectric properties of LCPs. Chapters 5 to 8 inclusive deal with comb and longitudinal LCPs, lyotropic and thermotropic. In these chapters are discussed the syntheses, characterization, structures and properties of these materials. Chapter 9 deals with some applications of LCPs. One of the important topics not covered in this text is that concerning the effects of electric and magnetic fields on LCPs, and associated optical effects. To cover this vast subject would be difficult in one chapter, and the merest of introductions is given at the end of Chapter 7; readers are urged to read the recent texts texts given at the end of this preface for a thorough coverage of this subject. However, it is intended to cover this area in a future volume. 'Polymer liquid crystals or liquid crystal polymers?', is a question that baffled the editor. Several reasons for using the one or the other were put forward by several authors. Professor Brostow, who has given a classification of different architectures, prefers to go in a natural progression from monomer liquid crystals to polymer liquid crystals. On the other hand, to call the book 'Polymer Liquid Crystals' may imply that the subject is about liquid crystals when it is really about polymers. A majority of the contributing authors preferred the term 'liquid crystal polymer', and as such the editor has taken refuge in the majority view. This brief discussion then settles the aim of the book. It is intended for workers with a knowledge of polymeric materials but scant awareness of liquid crystallinity. It is hoped that this text will assist the reader in understanding the latter so that an appreciation of the way in which LCPs behave will be obtained; and, moreover, readers will be able to appraise for themselves the possibilities unfolded by the different structures and capabilities provided by these fascinating materials, with a view to extending their use in novel products and applications.
