There have been several recent reports in the literature on the thermotropic phase behaviors of rigid-rod polymers with long flexible alkyl side chains. 1-13 The most interesting property of these materials is their ability to form layered structures in crystals and liquid crystals when the alkyl side chains reach a critical length. The R-helical poly (γ-alkyl L-glutamates) were the first examples of this type of material, 1 and recently, aromatic polyesters and polyamides with long alkyl side chains have also been examined. 2-13 The layered mesophases are characterized by a lateral packing of the rigid-rod main chains into layers, with the fluidlike side chains occupying the space between the layers. It has been postulated that the driving force for the adoption of such a structure is a type of microphase separation of the aliphatic and aromatic domains. 2, 5, 6, 12 In these layered structures, liquid crystallinity is the result of a partial or total lack of positional order with respect to the main-chain packing within a layer and the fluidlike disordered alkyl side chains between the layers. 12 In the crystalline phases with a layered structure, it has been found from X-ray and NMR analyses that the main chains and side chains crystallize in a cooperative fashion. 10, 12, 13
