Free-radical copolymerization of glycidyl methacrylate(GMA) and N-phthalimidoethyl acrylate(NPEA) were carried out at 60℃ in dimethylformamide(DMF) solution in the presence of benzoylperoxide(BPO) at low conversion. The polymers were characterized by IR and 1H-NMR. The compositions of the copolymer was analyzed by ultra violet(UV/Vis) spectrophotometry. The reactivity ratios of the monomer was determined by the application of Fineman-Ross(FR) and Kelen-Tudos(KT) methods. The monomer reactivity ratios of the system and Alfrey-Price's resonance effect(Q) and polar effect(e) value for NIEA were determined as follow. The reactivity ratios of the monomer obtained from FR and KT are found to be r1=0.87, r2=0.98 and r1=0.88, r2=0.99 respectively. The Q and e values of poly(GMA-co-NPEM) calculated from r1 and r2 was Q= 1.31, e=0.75 respectively.

본 연구에서는 말단기에 diene 기와 dithiol 기를 갖는 두 가지 새로운 액정 단량체의 합성을 보고하며, 이를 배향 후 광경화하여 광학 위상지연 필름을 제조하는 방법에 대해 논의하였다. 특히 합성된 두 가지액정단량체의 구조를 확인하였으며, 이들의 액정특성을 연구하였다. 또한 이들을 광개시제와 혼합하여광경화형 액정조성물을 제조하고 이를 러빙 배향막이 코팅된 표면 위에서배향시킨 후 광조사하여 thiol-ene 중합에 의해 경화함으로써 광학 위상지연 필름을 제조하였다.
