側鎖にディスコチック液晶分子を有するポリマーブラシの合成

抄録

Discotic liquid–crystalline (LC) molecules form one-dimensional columnar structures through π-π interactions. However, controlling the stacking direction of columnar structures is so difficult that it has been a challenge of many research groups. In this work, we synthesized polymer brushes containing LC perylene diimide moieties in the side chains by surface–initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI–ATRP) to control the stacking direction.
