摘要：

A statistical theory of the structure and thermodynamics of a planar brush ('accordion') formed by bridged polymer chains containing mesogenic segments and immersed in a solvent is developed. It is shown that deformation of an accordion can lead to the formation of a two-phase structure with coexisting liquid-crystalline (LC) and swollen microphases. Phase diagrams for accordions with different grafting densities are obtained. The influence of anisotropic interaction between mesogenic segments on the structure of phase diagrams is investigated.
