LC Polyimides 30. Non-Crystalline Cholesteric Poly(Ester-Imide)s Based on Isosorbide and 1, 6-Bis(4-Carboxyphenoxy)Hexane

Numerous cholesteric copoly(ester-imide)s were prepared from tert.-butylhydroquinone and isosorbide, on the one hand, and from the acid chlorides of N-(4-carboxyphenyl)trimellitimide and 1, 6-bis(4-carboxyphenoxy)hexane on the other. Two polycondensation methods were applied and compared. The molar ratio of the diols was varied and also the molar ratio of hot dicarboxylic acid chlorides. The copoly(ester-imide)s formed Grandjean textures with a low content (5–10 mol%) of isosorbide and relatively high content of the flexible dicarboxylic acid. The glass transition temperatures (T_gs) varied in the range of 160–180 °C.
