Abstract
Two kinds of N,O-hydroxypropyl chitosans (HPCTOs) with degree of substitution (DS) and molar substitution (MS) ranging from 2.15 to 2.39 and 2.9 to 4.1, respectively, and five kinds of aliphatic acid esters of HPCTOs (HPCTOAms, m=0,2,4,7,9, the number of methylene units in aliphatic substituent) based on the HPCTOs were synthesized, and the thermotropic liquid crystalline properties of the derivatives were investigated. All the derivatives formed enantiotropic cholesteric phases whose optical pitches (λm's) increased with increasing temperature. However, the glass and clearing temperatures, the magnitude of λm of the mesophase at the same temperature, and the temperature dependence of λm of the investigated derivatives highly depended on MS and m. The thermotropic mesophase properties of HPCTOAms were significantly different from those reported for the aliphatic acid esters of hydroxypropyl celluloses. The results indicate that the secondary amino group in the C-2 position plays an important role in the thermal stabilization and temperature dependence of λm of the cholesteric mesophase.

치환도(DS) 그리고 몰치환도(MS)가 각각 2.15~2.39 그리고 2.9~4.1 범위에 있는 2종류의 N,O-히드록시프로필 키토산들(HPCTOs) 그리고 HPCTO들을 이용하여 5 종류의 HPCTOs의 지방산 에스터들(HPCTOAms, m=0,2,4,7,9, 지방족 치환기 중의 메틸렌 단위들의 수)을 합성함과 동시에 이들의 열방성 액정 특성들을 검토하였다. 모든 유도체들은 온도 상승에 의해 광학피치들(λm's)이 증가하는 양방성 콜레스테릭 상들을 형성하였다. 그러나 검토한 유도체들의 유리 그리고 액정 상에서 액체 상으로의 전이온도들, 동일한 온도에서 액정 상이 나타내는 λm의 크기, 그리고 λm의 온도의존성은 MS와 m에 크게 의존하였다. HPCTOAm들의 열방성 액정 특성들은 히드록시프로필 셀룰로오스들의 지방산 에스터들에 대해 보고된 결과들에 비해 현저히 달랐다. 이러한 결과들은 C-2 위치에 존재하는 2차 아미노기가 콜레스테릭 상의 열적 안정성과 λm의 온도의존성에 중요한 역할을 함을 시사한다.

Keywords: hydroxypropyl chitosan; aliphatic acid esters of hydroxypropyl chitosan; degree of substitution and molar substitution; cholesteric phase; temperature dependence of optical pitch.
