Liquid crystalline (lc) oligomers were synthesized in order to obtain a more detailed un-derstanding of the change of thephase behaviorfrom the monomer to the polymer of lc side-chain polymers. The phase transformation temperatures of oligomers were determined as a function of the degree of polymerization r. For 3< r< 10 a steep increase in phase transformation temperature is observed for all systems. With growing r the stability range of the nematic phase is more extended than the stability range of the smectic phase. In analogy to the pressure-temperature behavior of low molar mass l. c’s, this effect can be attributed to progressively denser packing of the mesogenic side chains of the oligomers with growing degree of po-lymerization. This is macroscopically seen in a decrease of specific volumeat the phase transformation temperature with r.
