液晶分子による配向場を利用したナノロッドの配向制御

抄録

We examined the alignment of nanorods-embedded nematic liquid crystal (NLC) with using the slit coater, which was originally proposed to control the ]alignment of NLC molecules. In this experiment, NLC substance in which TiO2 nanorods was dispersed was coated on a glass substrate. It was found that the uniform alignment of NLC was performed whereas the alignment of the TiO2 nanorods was not confirmed. It was assumed that the particle concentration of the TiO2 nanorods in the NLC substance was insufficient in this experiment.
