Hydrodynamic, optical and electro-optical properties of solutions of polyphenyl methacrylic esters of cetyl and nonyl oxybenzoic acids and of random copolymers of the C16 ester with cetyl methacrylate have been investigated. Experimental data show that the molecules of these polymers exhibit intramolecular orientationalpolar order of a mesomorphic type in which the side-chains form a mobile liquid-crystalline structure. The intramolecular mesomorphic state is due to the side chain radical containing groups capable of forming thermotropic nematic liquid crystals.
