Hyperstructured organic materials are defined as the highly ordered organic materials with mechanical and thermal stabilities comparable to the conventional organic materials. Molecular ordering of small molecules is relatively easy compared to that of macromolecules, while the ordered structures of macromolecules are generally more stable than those of small molecules. For this reason, molecular ordering is often achieved with monomeric molecules and topochemical polymerization is followed to improve structural stabilities. The topochemical polymerization for preparing ordered macromolecules can be carried out in a liquid crystalline (LC) state. In this talk, we will present some examples of our work on the design of the polymerizable liquid crystals. |
