We present the synthesis, characteristics and curing process of liquid crystalline epoxy monomers containing a central triaromatic mesogenic group. The epoxy monomers were cross-linked with aromatic amines or dicarboxylic acids. In most cases, solid, thermally stable and anisotropic products were obtained. The curing reactions of the monomer were also carried out with selected fillers. The cross-linking process of the composites was monitored by differential scanning calorimetry and dielectric relaxation spectroscopy to compare with analogous liquid crystalline systems not containing filler. Some properties of the cured resin and the composites are described and discussed.
