title: Novel semirigid water-soluble thermoresponsive polymers based on mesogen-jacketed liquid crystal polymers.
abstract: Two novel semirigid smart polymers based on mesogen-jacketed liquid crystal polymers were successfully synthesized via free radical polymerization, which showed both characteristic liquid crystal properties of mesogen-jacketed liquid crystal polymers and remarkably reversible thermoresponsive phase transition behaviors.
