Abstract: This paper presents a detail study on the structure and switching properties of liquid crystalline copolymers of cholesteric ester of 1,2-hydroxypropyl 2,4-diisocyanatoluene methylmethacrylate (PCHPM). Under certain conditions PCHPM was observed turning into liquid crystalline state by crossed polarizers.The optical properties of the copolymers were determined by specific rotation, circular dichroism and wide-angle light Scattering Weas rements,
