Formation of functional polymer thin films by using magnetic fields

Abstract

An orientated organic material has the high functionality. It is an effective method for orientating various materisls to apply the strong magnetic field. The disk-like dye molecules solution based on the water shows the property of the lyotropic liquid crystal. By applying a magnetic field to this material, oriented thin films with absorption anisotropy were made. The functionality of the film obtained with the preparation condition of the film is examined.
