Liquid crystalline thermosets (LCTs) were prepared by curing difunctional LC dimeric epoxy monomers with imine moieties in the mesogenic core and central spacers of different length. Primary diamines or tertiary amines were used as curing agents obtaining materials with different characteristics. The results obtained were related to the mesogen structure, since dipolar moments in the mesogenic cores affect the ability to form ordered networks.
