Side-chain liquid-crystalline polymers were synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) method and conventional radical polymerization method. Effect of polymer main-chain on the liquid-crystalline phase structures was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and polarized optical microscopy. Polymers synthesized by ATRP method showed larger ΔH_<S-N> values than those of polymers synthesized by conventional radical polymerization method.
