Abstract

Abstract This invention is directed to a polymerizable nematic monomer composition comprised of monomers having the general formula (I): wherein R is CH₃ or H and Y is covalent bond or -CO₂-; characterized in that (A) in 20 to 80 weight % of the monomers of the general formula (I) n is 10, 12 or 14, and (B) in 80 to 20 weight % of the monomers having the general formula (I) n is 4, 6 or 8.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 71 words
A polymerizable nematic monomer composition comprised of monomers having the general formula (I): wherein R is CH₃ or H and Y is covalent bond or -CO₂-; characterized in that (A) in 20 to 80 weight % of the monomers of the general formula (I) n is 10, 12 or 14, and (B) in 80 to 20 weight % of the monomers having the general formula (I) n is 4,6 or 8.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 76 words
A polymerizable nematic monomer composition as claimed in claim 1 further characterized in that the composition comprises a total of two, three or four monomers of the general formula (I), wherein (A) 30 to 70 weight % of the monomers of the general formula (I) have n is 10,12 or 14 and (B) 30 to 70 weight % of the monomers of the monomers of the general formula (I) have n is 4, 6 or 8.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 54 words
