Notes:
The technique of thermally stimulated depolarization currents was used to study the dipolar relaxation mechanisms in two side-chain liquid-crystalline polysiloxanes. The studied polymers have the same mesogenic side-group, but they differ in the number (or density) of side groups attached to the main chain. In both cases three different relaxations were observed: one in the vitreous state, one in the liquid crystalline phase, and the glass transition relaxation. The features of those thermally stimulated discharges are discussed and some suggestions are made concerning the attribution of those discharges at the molecular level. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
