Abstract: A novel thermotropic liquid crystalline compound of p-biphenylene di-4-(allyloxy)benzoate (p-BDAB) was synthesized from allyl bromide,ethylparaben and 4,4-dihydroxybiphenyl.Its structure and liquid crystalline behavior were characterized by DSC,~1H-NMR,FTIR,POM and XRD.The results showed that this compound was smectic liquid crystal.The temperature range of liquid crystal was 185-278 ℃.The unsaturated polyester (UP) was improved by p-BDAB.The morphologic structure of UP improved with p-BDAB was investigated.The results showed that p-BDAB had reacted with UP.The p-BDAB was dispersed in the UP in the sea-island structure.UP had higher impact strength when the mass fraction of p-BDAB was about 8%,but the mass fraction was over 8%,the phase separation would occur and the impact strength would decrease.

Key words: dihydroxybipheny, liquid crystal, unsaturated polyester
