PB12 側鎖型液晶性ポリシロキサンのER効果に及ぼす側鎖末端基の影響(化学・材料)

抄録

Side chain liquid crystalline polymers have been expected to be used as electrorheological (ER) fluids, because the orientation of the side chain terminal groups may easily occur under an applied electric field. In this study, side chain liquid crystalline polysiloxanes with different terminal groups at the side chain were synthesized and we studied the ER effect for these compounds. An influence of the side chain terminal groups on the ER effect of these compounds will be discussed from these results.
