Abstract The synthesis and characterization of the polysiloxanes containingtrans-2,5-disubstituted-1,3-dioxane-based mesogenic side groups were described in this present study. Among three polysiloxanes containing three methylene units in their spacers, one without the lateral substituent exhibited two enantiotropic smectic phases while the other two polymers with a lateral methyl- or methoxy-substituent displayed an enantiotropic nematic phase. For polymers containing a longer spacer length (n ≥ 4), those without lateral substituent presented two enantiotropic smectic phases while the others containing a lateral substituent showed only an enantiotropic smectic A phase. The lateral substitution exerted a strong effect on the mesomorphic properties of the synthesized polymers.
