Abstract
Oxetanes with different mesogenic and spacer groups were synthesized. Some of the polymers obtained by cationic polymerization showed smectic phase. Not only cyano substituted biphenyl but also fluorine substituted biphenyl were found to be good mesogenic groups for these liquid crystalline polymers. Radially substituted mesogen gave nematic phase.
