Abstract
A nematic liquid crystal material containing a mercapto group and an olefinic group was synthesized. Photopolymerization of this compound in the liquid crystalline state resulted in a liquid crystalline main chain polymer which showed a relatively high birefringence. Due to scattering, the material had a low transmission at ambient temperatures.Keywords
