Summary
Various lyotropic liquid crystalline polyesteramides were prepared from 1,3-bis(4-aminobenzoyloxy)benzene, p-phenylene diamine, and terephthalic acid by changing the ratio of amide to ester groups and were observed by using a cross polarized light microscope. The range of liquid crystalline phase becomes wider with increasing the portion of amide groups in a main chain because the chain rigidity becomes higher and the polymer-solvent interaction stronger. In the case of polyesteramides with flexible spacers, the polymer with one p-phenylene group between two ester groups does not form an anisotropic phase but the polymer with the same group between amide groups shows an anisotropy.
