Hydrogen bonding has been extensively used to create the mesogenic core of calamitic liquid crystals. While the field of polymeric hydrogen-bonded liquid crystals has been extensively studied, most of the research has been devoted to side chain hydrogen-bonded polymeric liquid crystals with far less effort devoted to the study of main chain hydrogen-bonded liquid crystals despite the variety of liquid crystalline (LC) phases they possess. In this review, centrosymmetric and noncentrosymmetric main chain hydrogen-bonded polymers are discussed with an emphasis on the structure/property relationships and the variety of LC phases observed in the resulting polymers.

点评：主链氢键液晶聚合物

氢键已被广泛地用于创建cal族液晶的介晶核。尽管已经广泛地研究了聚合物氢键合液晶领域，但是尽管种类繁多，但是大多数研究都致力于侧链氢键合聚合物液晶，而花费在研究主链氢键合液晶上的工作却少得多。拥有的液晶（LC）相。在这篇综述中，讨论了中心对称和非中心对称氢键键合的聚合物，重点是在所得聚合物中观察到的结构/性质关系以及LC相的多样性。
