| Abstract | Novel dendron–liquid crystalline (dendron–LC) block copolymers integrating Percec type (alkoxy benzyl ether) dendron molecules and liquid crystalline polymer blocks were prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (yields ca. 80%, molecular weights were in the range of 15 000–50 000). Poly{2,5-bis[(4-methoxyphenyl)oxycarbonyl]styrene} (PMPCS), of which the thermotropic mesomorphic behavior strongly relied on its molecular weight, was utilized as the liquid crystalline polymer block. Thermal property investigation of the copolymers revealed that only the glass transition temperature (111–119 °C) belonging to the PMPCS block was observed, indicating that the dendron molecule and the liquid crystalline polymer block were immiscible and the phase transition of the dendron molecule was restrained. The subtle interplay between the thermotropic mesomorphic behaviors of PMPCS and the microphase structure in these dendron–LC copolymers was discussed. With increasing molecular weight of the PMPCS block, a morphological evolution from bilayer to interdigitated lamellar structure was proposed based on the small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) examination. More importantly, a less-ordered columnar nematic phase instead of a hexatic columnar nematic phase which should be stabilized in the PMPCS block was identified by in situwide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) experiments. The degradation of the hierarchical packing of PMPCS chain was attributed to the confinement effect originating from the interdigitated microphase structure. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
