Abstract: Apolymethacrylate with laterally substituted mesogens as side groups was synthesized.It v/as found that the polymer was noncrystailine with a glass transition temperature of 170℃, above which a liquid crystalline state was formed.The stiffening effect that the mesogenic side groups have upon the molecules is considered responsible for both the high Tg value and the liquid crystal forming properties of the polymer.

Key words: Side chain liquid crystal polymer, Polymethacrylate, Thermotropic liquid crystal
