摘要
The dielectric and ultrasonic properties of a bent-core main-chain liquid-crystalline polymer network have been investigated. Dielectric measurements on this material showed two maxima in the real and imaginary components of the dielectric permittivity at 365K and 450K along with a temperature hysteresis showing the first order nature of the two phase transitions. Longitudinal ultrasonic attenuation and ultrasonic velocity measurements at 10MHz frequency revealed some anomalies at the phase transition temperatures respect to the dielectric results. Above room temperature, a large ultrasonic attenuation was observed which can be related to the glass transition of this sample. Moreover, the piezoelectric sensitivity of this bent-core main-chain liquid-crystalline polymer network has also been studied.
