A hydrogen‐bonded association chain liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) based on tetraethyleneglycoxy‐bis(2,6‐dimethyl‐4‐benzoic acid) and 4,4′‐( p ‐phenylenedi‐1,2‐ethenediyl)bipyridyl in a 1 : 1 stoichiometric ratio was synthesized using melting mixing method. X‐ray scattering from fiber drawn from its nematic phase exhibits preferred orientation, indicating that hydrogen bonding association chain polymer can also be strong enough to withstand the shear or tensile force and could be macroscopically oriented under shear or tensile force. Two complimentary components are likely to form a co‐crystallized structure to form a monoclinic crystal.
