Popis: | An approach was developed for the synthesis of new multifunctional photosensitive liquid-crystalline copolymers of the acryl series containing azobenzene, ionophoric, and mesogenic groups in the same macromolecule. The phase behavior of the copolymers was studied. Most of these copolymers were demonstrated to form nematic mesophases. An increase in the concentration of crown-containing groups to 26 mol.% leads to amorphization of the copolymers. The influence of complexation of the crown ether groups of the copolymers with potassium perchlorate on the mesomorphic properties of the systems was investigated. A comparative study of the photooptical properties of the copolymers in solution and thin films was performed. |
