14. (b) The rigid mesogen fraction is defined as the weight fraction of the rigid (aromatic) part of the mesogen. In this specific mesogens, the peripheral methyl groups are included in the rigid part of the molecule.
15. Note that the clearing temperatures of the polymer samples are all slightly higher because of the far-reaching degree of linking the mesogens.
