摘要：

Five fumarate esters and one acrylate ester have been synthesized and their properties examined. Four of them can be deposited as multilayers by evaporation in vacuo, and three of this group behave as thermotropic smectic liquid crystals. We have attempted to stabilize the homeotropic smectic phase by polymerizing the film using UV light. In two cases we have been successful and have produced films which are resistant to prolonged heating in THF. We infer that these materials are both polymerized and cross linked. They retain their regular layer structure after polymerization, a behaviour which we have demonstrated by X-ray diffraction, We have also attempted to form Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers with these compounds and in four cases have been successful.
