Epoxy-based azopolymers were synthesized by the reaction of the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) or N,N-diglycidyl aniline (DGA) with disperse orange 3 (DO3) to give poly(DGEBA-co-DO3) or poly(DGA-co-DO3), respectively. Aniline-based azopolymers prepared from poly(DGA-co-An) precursors, synthesized by the reaction of DGA with aniline, were produced by the post-azo coupling reaction with diazonium salts containing various substituents. Holographic gratings were carried out to measure the diffractive efficiencies (DE) for the interference patterns of the $Ar^+$ laser from 50 to $300\;mW/cm^2$ intensity. The shorter repeating unit with higher chromophore density induced deeper surface relief gratings (SRG). Large surface gratings were observed for the aniline-based azopolymers with -COOH substituents, as compared with those for epoxy-based azopolymers. The aniline-based azopolymers with dimerized chromophores and various substituents were also synthesized to observe the effect of chromophore substituents and dimerization on the holography. The dimerized chromophores were more sensitively photoisomerized by the $Ar^+$ laser beam, and demonstrated a larger grating than that with one azo bond.

Diglycidyl ether of 4,4'-dihydroxy-α-methylstilbene (DGE-DHMS)에 aniline을 2:1의 비율로 첨가한 액정에폭시올리고머인 DD-A를 합성하고 촉매성 경화제인 1-Methyl Imidazole을 이용하여 경화시키며 겔화 및 유리화 시간을 측정하여 액정 변화가 포함된 Time-Temperature-Transition Diagram을 작성하였다. 경화제의 농도가 높아질수록 겔화 및 유리화 시간이 감소함을 확인할 수 있었고 유리화 곡선은 전형적인 S-형태를 보였다.
