Emerging from the demand for replicating and cloning nature, asymmetric chemistry has become one of the modern attentive research fields. The studies of chiral polymers therein are promising with the aspiration of representing the characteristics of natural macromolecules. We designed a chiral polymer using an isosorbide core, following a straightforward crafting strategy by both identical and distinct substituents. Mesogenic fractions were employed to gain advantages of its well-known highly ordered structure to enhance the crystallinity and alignment of the polymer. Aromatic amines and imidazolium initiators were operated for an advantageous curing process and the insertion of crosslinks to the materials. Further research offered the treatment of simple mesogenic polymers to enhance their liquid crystallinity. In the presentation, the details of synthesis and properties will be discussed.
