Abstract:
Liquid crystals phase is an intermediate phase of matter which is observed between
crystalline solid phase and isotropic liquid phase in some substances. This research is
focused on synthesizing and characterizing the structure of new thermotropic liquid
crystal monomer. In this study, three precursors were used in order to synthesis liquid
crystal structure which are A-Phenol (2,2-Bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) propane) as the
mesogenic group, 3-chloro-1-propanol as the spacer linkage and allyl chloride as the
polymer backbone. Spectroscopy and chromatography analysis were conducted for
conformation of the product obtained. However, mass spectroscopy analysis revealed that
the product obtained was not a liquid crystal monomer due to different m/z value.
