Abstract
Sixteen new side chain liquid polysiloxanes, either homopolymers derived from poly(hydrogenmethyl)siloxane or copolymers derived from poly(hydrogenmethyl-dimethylsiloxane), are reported with side chains carrying fluoro-substituents. The known effects of fluoro-substitution in low molar mass liquid crystals are strongly echoed in the polymeric analogues and interesting comparisons are made between homo- and co-polymers carrying the same fluorinated side chains.Keywords
