“…Furthermore, increase of the polymethylenic spacer enables the development of more abundant and ordered LC structures such as S C , S E , etc. [136,137,138,139]. However, crystallization often occurs in some early reported PSCLCPs, which is a disadvantage for application.…”

Abstract:Organosilicon polymer materials play an important role in certain applications due to characteristics of much lower glass transition temperatures (T g ), viscosities, surface energy, as well as good mechanical, thermal stabilities, and insulation performance stemming from the higher bond energy and the larger bond angles of the adjacent silicon-oxygen bond. This critical review highlights developments in the synthesis, structure, and phase transition behaviors of polysiloxane-based side chain liquid crystal polymers (PSCLCPs) of linear and cyclic polysiloxanes containing homopolymers and copolymers. Detailed synthetic strategies are elaborated, and the relationship between molecular structures and liquid crystalline phase transition behaviors is systematically discussed, providing theoretical guidance on the molecular design of the materials.
