Three new liquid crystalline monomers were synthesized and polymerized.The backbone was either acrylate or methacrylate, and polar groups with a chiral center were incorporated into the mesogens.Two monomers displayed a smectic C* phase below room temperature, while the third one was a plastic 1c.The homopolymers and copolymers had 1c phases, smectic C* or smectic A, between 40 and 80 deg C.
