PA49 Molecular reorientation of liquid crystalline polymer containing cinnamic acid side group by thermal nanoimprinting

Abstract

We previously reported that molecular reorientation in a photo-cross-linkable liquid crystalline polymer (P6CAM) film was explored by a thermal nanoimprinting technique using a SiO_2/Si mold with a line-and-space (L&S) pattern, which direction was parallel to the mold lines. In this work, we observed molecular reorientation in P6CAM film induced by a thermal nanoimprinting technique using various molds with complex structures.
