Recently, many kinds of thermoresponsive polymers have been synthesized. However, the remarkable character of these synthesized thermoresponsive polymers is that their main chains are mostly flexible. Of course, there is another class of interesting and important thermo-responsive polymers, such as polypeptide and alkyl-substituted celluloses, which have semirigid main chains. But the molecular design and synthetic process of these thermoresponsive natural polymer derivatives are still limited. It is well-known that mesogen-jacketed liquid crystal polymers (MJLCPs) have the typical semirigid chain structure. So far, the synthesized MJLCPs are hardly water-soluble and much less thermoresponsive. Here we designed some novel polymers in the light of the idea of combining MJLCPs with thermosensitive polymers. These new synthesized thermoresponsive polymers having both liquid crystal properties and thermoresponsive properties will be meaningful in academic research and practical applications. This dissertation gave a detailed discussion on the synthesis and characterization of two thermoresponsive monomers and corresponding polymers based on 2-vinylterephthalic acid. Three parts of works were stated as below: Two new mesogen-jacketed liquid crystal monomers bis(N-hydroxyethyl pyrrolidone) 2-vinylterephthalate (M1) and bis(N-hydroxypropyl pyrrolidone) 2-vinyl terephthalate (M2) were designed and synthesized. M1 and M2 both exhibited a thermoresponsive phase transition behavior in aqueous solution. The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of M1 and M2 both decreased with increasing concentration and the rate of the phase transition became very fast at the high concentration. However, at the same concentrat
