Abstract
If small mesogenic molecules which are able to form a liquid crystalline phase are linked as side groups to a polymer chain, one obtains a substance that combines liquid crystalline and polymer specific properties [1, 2]. Above the glass transition temperature, the polymer exhibits an almost free motion of chain segments, the so-called micro-Brownian motion. Due to this liquid-like state of the chain backbone, the mesogenic side groups can build up ordered structures and thus form a liquid crystalline phase [3].
