This research deals with the synthesis and properties of a                 new class of polymers, i.e., polyethers that exhibit liquid-                    crystalline behavior.  The polyether functionality will be placed               in the so-called main chain of the polymers.  Recent work by the                principal investigator has shown that such polymers are both                    thermotropic and lyotropic.   The major effort of this research                 will be directed toward the synthesis of a variety of polyethers                of this type.  An effort will be made to derive a better                        understanding of structure-property relationships in liquid-                    crystalline polymers containing flexible "spacers," such as                     aliphatic or oligooxyethylenic groups.  Exploratory experiments                 are also planned on the synthesis of ring-shaped and biaxial                    nematic liquid-crystalline polymers.
