Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
From our present ongoing research programme (GR/F 74127) under 21st Century Materials and the MoD we have developed a procedure, based on the Bayliss-Hillman reaction, by which side chain liquid crystal (SCLC) polymers can be synthesised incorporating a variety of functional groups both in the polymer backbone and in the spacer group. In this proposal we outline a collaborative research programme which will build on the success achieved in the above grant and take this research project on the Bayliss-Hillman reaction into its second phase, ie to carry out some basic and applied physics on these polymeric materials with a view to evaluating their potential in a variety of applications. The main essential features of these SCLC polymers will be evaluated and used to design and synthesise polynmer materials for ferro- and pyro- electric applications and also for signal processing devices, eg nonlinear optical devices. This proposal also includes our plans to further develop, in a systematic manner, the Bayliss-Hillman methodology to produce new polymer architectures which will contribute greatly to our ongoing structure/property correlation study in this area of SCLC polymers produced by the Bayliss Hillman methodology.
