A series of side-chain liquid-crystalline polymers has been synthesised from monomeric oxetanes. The synthesis and liquid crystal properties of the monomers and the polymers are discussed and it is shown that a short spacer unit can be used to obtain polymers with a flexible backbone which give broad liquid crystalline phases and low glass transition temperatures. Various initiators were used for the polymerisation but the photoinitiator “SARCAT KI 85TM”, a disulfonium salt, yielded the best results.
