note = "Polymers containing para-quaterphenyl rods laterally attached to the polymer main chain have been synthesized. The molecular design choices which led to use of the quaterphenyl rod to achieve auxetic response will be discussed. Preparative chemistry of the monomers will be described along with the details of the polymerization reaction.",
