Photoalignment of liquid crystalline polymer with N-benzylideneaniline (NBA) side groups and subsequent in situ exchange achieves polarized fluorescence of oriented N-salicylideneaniline (SA) derivatives. In situ hydrolysis of NBA and c...
<p>A photo-cross-linkable liquid crystalline polymer (PMCB6M) film can be applicable to LC alignment layer. In case of LC alignment, a near surface structure of alignment layer is most important. We investigated three-dimensional molecular orienta...
<p>Supramolecular liquid crystal using the interaction of pyridine-carboxylic acid is known to many. On the other hand, previously, we have reported that the axis-selective anisotropy is generated by irradiating the LPUV light in the thin film of ...
<p>Photoalignment can be applicable to optical information storage, polarization holography, and photoalignment of low-molecular-weight liquid crystals (LCs). To date, several types of photoreactive liquid crystalline polymers (PLCPs) realize an e...
Benzylideneaniline (BA) derivatives are transparent in the visible region and exhibit a photoreactivity toward trans-cis photoisomerization. We evaluated polarized photoreaction and properties of the polymer complex composed derivative of BA with ...
