A free radical initiated optically active vinyl polymer with memory of chirality after removal of the inducing stereogenic center
TL;DR: Free radical polymerization of (+)-2,5-bis[4'-((S)-2-methylbutyloxy)phenyl]styrene yields a chiral polymer with memory of optical activity after the initial stereogenic center in the side group of the monomer is chemically removed as mentioned in this paper.

Solvent Effect on the Aggregation Behavior of Rod−Coil Diblock Copolymers
TL;DR: The results from 2D wide-angle X-ray diffraction and polarized optical microscopy demonstrated that the PMBPS blocks packed in a parallel pattern upon aggregation in dioxane/water, and the anisotropic disclike structures observed in THF/water indicated the orientation of the PM BPS blocks upon forming aggregates in dilute solution.

Synthesis and Properties of Liquid Crystalline 4,4″-Dialkoxy-2″-Methyl-P-Terphenyls
TL;DR: In this article, a series of laterally substituted terphenyl compounds, 4,4"-dialkoxy-2'-methyl-p-terphenyls (n=1 m 12), were synthesized by means of polarizing optical microscopy (POM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and X-ray diffraction.

Synthesis and Characterization of Helix‐Coil Diblock Copolymers with Controlled Supramolecular Architectures in Aqueous Solution
TL;DR: A series of helix-coil diblock copolymers based on poly(ethylene oxide) and optically active helical poly-{(+)-2,5-bis[4'-((S)-2-methylbutoxy)phenyl]styrene} (PMBPS) were synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP).

Synthesis and polymerization of 2,5-Bis(4′-alkoxy-phenyl)styrene for mesogen-jacketed liquid crystal polymers
TL;DR: A series of novel reactive liquid crystals, 2,5-bis(4'-alkoxy-phenyl)styrene, was designed and synthesized to prepare stereoregular mesogen-jacketed liquid crystal polymers (MJLCPs) as discussed by the authors.
