A series of monomers {2,5-bis[(5-alkyl-phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole] styrene}(BOXE) were designed and synthesized.By radical polymerization initiated BPO with a novel series of mesogen-jacketed polymers containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole were prepared.Molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of polymers were measured by GPC.The glass transition temperature (T_g) and thermal stability of polymers were studied by DSC and TGA.The results indicate that these polymers have good thermal stability.These liquid crystal polymers have well defined structure,and possess special photo-electronic properties.
