title = "Sensitivity of small molecule sorption to annealing in glassy liquid crystalline polymers",
abstract = "The sorption of organic penetrants is found to be sensitive to thermal annealing conditions in a series of glassy, nematic, thermotropic, random copolyesters. Controlled thermal annealing of two polymers in this series permitted a systematic variation of chain packing and, presumably, higher order molecular suprastructure, ranging from a disordered amorphous morphology to more ordered nematic liquid crystalline and semi-crystalline morphologies. The development of liquid crystalline order appears to reduce or preclude small molecule solubility in nematically ordered forms of these polymers.",
