The present invention relates to a compound, a liquid crystal composition, a liquid crystal display element, and a liquid crystal display. The compound is a compound represented by a formula I shown in the description. The liquid crystal composition of the present invention contains the compound represented by the formula I. The compound represented by the formula I has the advantages of good mutual solubility with other compounds and good UV resistance. As a reactive mesogen (RM), the compound has the advantages of good mutual solubility, high polymerization activity (less monomer residue), and strong binding ability. The compound can not only be used as a self-aligning agent for the liquid crystal compositions alone, but also can be used as a vertical alignment material for copolymerization with other RMs so as to be used as a self-aligning agent for the liquid crystal compositions in a PSA (polymer-supported alignment) and PS (polymer-stabilized) mode, the PI preparation process canbe avoided, the preparation process of the liquid crystal display element or liquid crystal display can be simplified, and the production efficiency can be improved.

The structure of carbon nanotubes and their electronic interaction with a matrix are important for extracting the unprecedented electronic properties, which have yet to be explored. Here we investigate the dispersibility of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in ionic liquid-derived polymers (PILs), revealed by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy, infrared optical spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. Surprisingly, SWNTs studied here are highly dispersed, at least down to 7.5 nm-fibres, in a trimethylammonium-suspended PILs. Based on this discovery, we found that the well-dispersed and almost fully dispersed SWNTs in PILs are responsible for the enhanced thermoelectric properties, a future energy harvesting technique.

Ethyl cyanoacrylate (ECA) was polymerized radically in the presence of small amounts of trifluoroacetic acid as effective inhibitor of incidental anionic polymerization. Methyl methacrylate and other functional vinyl monomers (e.g., 2-chloroethyl and 2-bromoethyl methacrylate) were copolymerized with ECA, yielding linear ECA-rich copolymers, which could readily undergo further modifications, for instance nucleophilic substitution with azide. In the presence of a disulfide-containing dimethacrylate crosslinker and a chain transfer agent (CBr4) during the free radical copolymerizations of ECA with methacrylates, highly branched ECA-based polymers containing disulfide groups at the branching points were obtained prior to gelation. The polymers degraded upon addition of reducing agents. The prepared polymers, which contained peripheral (chain end) alkyl bromide groups as well as pendant alkyl chloride or bromide groups were then reacted with sodium azide, affording azide-containing polymers that were reacted with functional alkynes under copper-catalyzed “click” chemistry conditions.
