Abstract

The phase diagrams of side chain liquid-crystalline acrylic copolymers with cyanobiphenyl mesogenic groups are described. These copolymers are shown to form a reentrant nematic phase. The main regularities of the reentrant behaviour of polymer systems are studied. Certain peculiarities of the electric field induced orientation phenomena are discussed.
