Abstract: ABSTRACT The cholesteric polysiloxanes (PLQ series) were obtained by reacting cholesteric monomer and phenolic hydroxyl monomer in different ratios with polysiloxanes. The chiral azo-containing polysiloxanes liquid-crystalline elastomers (LCEs) were synthesised by esterifying PLQ series with… read more here.
