Abstract

A method of controlled radical polymerization via the reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer mechanism is used to synthesize LC polymers with functional terminal thiol groups. These polymers are used to create composites containing gold nanoparticles at a concentration of up to 40 wt % and capable of LC ordering. The structural, thermodynamic, and optical properties of the composites are studied. It is shown that the spatial separation of mesogenic groups and groups responsible for the binding of a macromolecule with nanoparticles makes it possible to considerably widen the concentration range of nanoparticles while preserving the LC state of the composites.
