PDa07 光架橋性高分子液晶フィルムの偏光露光によるメゾスコピックパターン形成

抄録

We report here a pattern formation of polymer liquid crystal film by the use of linearly polarized ultraviolet (LPUV) light followed by annealing. A periodical pattern was appeared after annealing due to the periodic reorientation of the mesogenic groups induced by the anisotropic photo-cross-linking reaction. The orientational direction was parallel to the electric vector of the incident LPUV light. The pattern pitch was -10/μm and the diffraction pattern can be observed. The diffraction efficiency was dependent on the incident polarization plane of the light.
