Y-type miktoarm star Mesogen-jacketed liquid crystal copolymers carrying one polystyrene (PS) and two poly{2,5-bis[(4-methoxyphenyl)-oxycarbonyl] styrene} arms (PMPCS) were synthesized by combination of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and ATRP method of chemically modified derivatives. Their architectures were confirmed by GPC and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The liquid crystalline behavior of these copolymers was studied by DSC, POM and WXAD. Their liquid-crystalline phase intently depends on the molecular weights of the rigid rod arm of miktoarm star copolymers. The liquid-crystalline phase only appeared after a certain length of PMPCS.

Key words: miktoarm star, atom transfer radical polymerization, mesogen-jacketed liquid crystal polymer, liquid crystalline behavior
