Abstract: The combined type liquid crystalline polymer based on hydroxypropyl cellulose (AzoHPC) was successfully synthesized via DCC coupling. The molecular characterizations of the resultant polymer were performed with proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The thermal stability was investigated via thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The phase transitions and liquid-crystalline behaviors of these polymers were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). The results indicate that the supramolecular structure of AzoHPC is consisted of a large scale ordered rectangular structure constructed by hydroxypropyl cellulose backbone and a relatively small scale ordered structure formed by azobenzene side chains.
