Photoalignment and Photofixation of Chromonic Mesophase in Ionic Linear Polysiloxanes Using a Dual Irradiation System

Photoalignment technology enables macroscopic alignment of liquid crystalline molecules and their aggregates in a non-contact process by irradiating photo-responsive liquid crystalline compounds with linearly polarized light. Because photoalignment techniques prevent dust generation and uneven stret...
