Abstract
Compositions having liquid crystal phases which contain at least one component consisting of an organopolysiloxane having mesogenic molecules chemically bonded thereto as side chains which are obtained by grafting vinyl-substituted mesogenic molecules to an organohydrogenpolysiloxane. The organopolysiloxane backbone may also carry different molecules, such as nematogenic and cholesterogenic or chiral molecules, as side chains.
Claims6
A composition having a liquid crystal phase which contains at least one liquid crystalline component consisting of an organopolysiloxane backbone having at least two mesogenic molecules chemically bonded thereto as side chains, in which the component is obtained from the reaction of an organohydrogenpolysiloxane containing Si-bonded hydrogen with vinyl-substituted mesogenic molecules.
