A series of ionic liquid-crystalline (LC) elastomers were synthesized by using chemical cross-linking agents containing sulfonic acid groups, which were siloxane-based materials. A ionic divinyl monomer 2,2′-(1,2-ethenediyl)bis[5-[(4-undecenoyloxy)phenyl]azo]benzenesulfonic acid was used as chemical cross-linking agent. Cholest-5-en-3-ol(3β)-10-undecenoate was synthesized as a liquid-crystalline monomer. The effective cross-link density of the ionic elastomers was determined by swelling experiments in organic/buffer mixtures. Their liquid-crystalline properties were characterized by DSC, POM, and SAXS. A proposed multilayer buildup containing LC segment structure and ionic cross-linking lamellar structure separated by siloxane chains was given. The ion aggregated in domains forces the siloxane chains to fold and form an irregular lamellar structure. The ionic cluster lamellae may be tangled with the rigid mesogenic groups of LC segments to form multiple blocks. Liquid-crystal mesophase region of the polymers become narrow with increasing ionic cross-linking content.

In the present study we synthesized, characterized and checked the antimicrobial activity of fatty acid analogs of cholesterol. The synthesized compounds were characterized using IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and mass spectral data and tested for their antimicrobial activity by disk diffusion assay with slight modifications against Gram-positive, Gram-negative strains of bacteria as well as fungal strains. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of all the synthesized compounds was also determined. Compounds 7-14 showed inhibitory action against both the groups of bacteria and four strains of fungus. In vitro antimicrobial activity of the test compounds show that the compounds 10 and 13 are excellent antibacterial agents, where as compounds 13 and 14 are the excellent antifungal agents among the eight synthesized compounds.
