摘 要:A series of copolyesters based on bis(4-hydroxybutyl) terephthalate, terephthaloyl chloride andvarious aromatic diols (i.e. hydroquinone, chlorohydroquinone, bromohydroquinone or dihydroxybi-phenyl) was prepared. ~1H-NMR studies revealed that the monomer units had microstructures closeto random distribution in the chains. The copolymers showed composition-dependent liquid crystal-line properties as verified by visual observation of stir opalescence, polarizing microscope, DSC andX-ray diffration. The copolyesters with aromatic diol contents over a certain extent (for chloro-hydroquinone m≥0.33) were thermotropic with wide liquid crystalline temperature ranges. Theintroduction of chlorohydroquinone into the copolyesters could gradually destroy the crystallinityof the polymers but retain the liquid crystalline characteristics.
