ポリ４ビニルピリジンラビング膜の容易軸発現におけるネマチック液晶材料依存性

抄録

An easy axis of rubbed polymers with aromatic side-chains depends on liquid crystal (LC) materials. In this study, alignment directions of liquid crystal materials, that is, parallel and perpendicular to the rubbing direction and vertical to the surface, are investigated on a rubbed poly(4-vinyl pyridine) film. LCs with different alignment directions are mixed and the directions are also observed as a function of the mixture ratio.
