摘要
Continuing from the previous paper on novel liquid crystalline polymers containing the dihydroxy-alpha-methylstilbene (DH alpha MS) fragment, several conclusions were reached for random terpolymers of DH alpha MS terephthalate, DH alpha MS isophthalate and DH alpha MS 2,6-naphthoate; in mole fractions of 0.65, 0.10 and 0.25, respectively; by atomistic simulations and experimental work on effects of weight-average molecular weight (M-W) on the radius of gyration (R-g) and intrinsic viscosity [eta]: 1. The polydispersities of the samples are around 2.16, a typical value for condensation polymers. 2. The observed R-gw, (weight-average R-g) and [eta] values are both roughly proportional to M-w(0.7). 3. The calculated R-g values are also similar to M-w(0.7) and comparable to the observed R-gw values. 4. The calculated [eta] similar to M-w(0.85) land thus have a very similar exponent for the M-w dependence, but are larger than the observed values of [eta] by roughly a factor of 6 over the entire range of M-w.
