PBal9 光架橋性高分子液晶フィルムの光・熱誘起配向における側鎖末端基の影響

抄録

We investigated the effect of the substituent of the mesogenic side group of the copolymer liquid crystal films on the photoinduced alignment behavior. The optical anisotropy of the polymer films was induced by the linearly polarized (LP) UV photoreaction followed by annealing around the clearing temperature. We clarified that the polymer should exhibit liquid crystallinity to achieve the thermal orientation of the mesogenic side groups.
