- Abstract
The article focuses on a study which synthesized a series of side-chain liquid crystalline polysiloxanes contaning various chiral groups with a cholesteric liquid crystalline monomer cholesteryl and a chiral monomer. Particular focus is given to the phase morphology of the chiral polymers. Results of the study showed that an increase in the menthyl component of the polymer systems led to an increase in the specific rotations of the chiral liquid crystalline polymers.
