Abstract

In this communication, we have described a simple way to get high positive birefringence polymer films. Solution cast films without any post-processing could show positive birefringence values of up to 0.0350. Such films are composed of several kinds of mesogen-jacketed liquid crystalline polymers (MJLCPs) and have potential applications in optical compensators.
