Abstract
The crosslinked films retaining cholesteric liquid-crystalline order were prepared by casting the liquid crystalline solutions of hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) in methanol with the two kinds of aliphatic dicarboxylic acid chlorides (succinyl chloride and suberoyl chloride). The temperature dependence on the cholesteric pitch of the crosslinked films and the swelling behavior of the films in both water and methanol were investigated. The films displayed fingerprint patterns charateristic of cholesteric liquid-crystalline phase, and their pitches, as well as HPC itself, increased with temperature. However, the pitch of all crosslinked samples was much greater than that of HPC at the same temperature and increased with increasing concentration and chain length of the crosslinker. The crosslinked samples exhibited an anisotropic swelling in both solvents. The degree of anisotropy slightly depended on the solvent and crosslinker species, but hardly on the crosslinker concentration investigated.

Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC)를 이용하여 제조한 메탄올의 유방성 용액에 두 종류의 aliphatic dicarboxylic acid chlorides (succinyl chloride 와 suberoyl chloride)를 첨가하여 주형시킴에 의해 cholesteric 질서를 지닌 가교필름들을 제조하였다. 가교필름의 cholesteric pitch의 온도의존성과 물과 메탄올중에서의 가교필름의 팽윤거동을 검토하였다. 필름들은 cholesteric 액정상의 특징적인 지문조직을 나타내었으며 이들의 pitch는 HPC 자체와 동일하게 온도가 상승함에 따라 증가하였다. 그러나 모든 가교시료들은 주어진 온도하에서 HPC가 나타내는 pitch에 비해 대단히 크며 가교제의 농도 및 길이의 증가에 의해 증가하였다. 가교시료들은 두 용매중에서 이방성 팽윤을 나타냈다. 이방성 팽윤의 정도는 용매와 가교제의 종류에 다소 의존하나 검토된 가교제의 농도에는 거의 의존하지 않았다.
