摘要： The invention provides cross-linked lyotropic liquid crystal (LLC) copolymers having ordered nanometer-sized pores lined with functional groups. The copolymers are formed by copolymerizing LLC monomers with strong LLC character and functionalized monomers with no or weak LLC character to form an LLC phase. Both the LLC monomers and the functionalized monomers contain hydrogen-bonding groups and hydrogen-bonding is believed to assist in the formation of the LLC phase of the blended mixture. Different classes of functional groups useful for the invention include, but are not limited to, acidic groups, basic groups, catalytic groups, oxidizing agents, reducing agents, polymerization initiators, binding agents, optically active groups, and electrically active groups. The invention also provides methods for making the cross-linked LLC copolymers of the invention. In these methods, the LLC monomer and the functionalized monomer are blended in a polar solvent, thereby allowing self-assembly of the first and second monomer into an LLC phase. The LLC phase in then cross-linked with retention of the LLC microstructure.

摘要翻译： 本发明提供具有排列有官能团的有序纳米尺寸孔的交联溶致液晶（LLC）共聚物。 共聚物通过将LLC单体与强LLC特性和不具有或弱的LLC特性的官能化单体共聚形成LLC相形成。 LLC单体和官能化单体都含有氢键基团，氢键被认为有助于共混混合物的LLC相的形成。 可用于本发明的不同类别的官能团包括但不限于酸性基团，碱性基团，催化剂基团，氧化剂，还原剂，聚合引发剂，粘合剂，光学活性基团和电活性基团。 本发明还提供了制备本发明交联的LLC共聚物的方法。 在这些方法中，LLC单体和官能化单体在极性溶剂中共混，从而允许第一和第二单体自组装成LLC相。 LLC阶段随后保留LLC微结构交联。
