Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) has been applied to synthesize liquid crystalline methacrylic polymers having three-arms star structure, starting from a central core of C3 symmetry. By just changing the duration of the polymerization process, macromolecules having distinct average chain lengths with low polydispersity values and well defined end-groups have been obtained. All the obtained star-shaped polymers, characterized by differential scanning calorimetry and polarized optical microscopy, exhibit smectic and nematic liquid-crystalline phases on heating, with transition temperatures strongly dependent on the average polymerization degree, and high clearing points. The comparison of these systems with the analogous linear derivatives pointed out higher glass transition temperature values, although they are characterized by lower average polymerization degree. Such behavior can be attributed to the stiffness of the aromatic core, which limits the free movement of chain ends. |
