  • Polyimides are blended with photoreactive polymers in order to improve the thermal stability of molecular orientation of photoreactive groups induced by polarized UV irradiation. The polyimide/photopolymer blends can be applied for the photo-induced liquid crystal alignment layers. However, the polyimides are also decomposed by UV irradiation and this may have the negative effect on the orientation of liquid crystals. In order to elucidate the influence of polyimide on the molecular orientation of liquid crystal, non-photoreactive naphthalenic polyimide (1,4,5,8-naphthalene tetracarboxylic dianhydride} was selected for the blend alignment layers. We prepared the blends of photo-reactive coumarin polymers and naphthalenic polyimide, and investigated the orientation of liquid crystals. Thermal stability of the orientation of liquid crystals was enhanced due to the thermally stable polyimide. However, there was no other side-effect of polyimide on the orientation of liquid crystals and this might be attributed to the non-photo-reactivity of naphtahlenic polyimide.

  • Liquid crystals are important materials because of their applications in display technology and many other scientific applications. Different mixtures of liquid crystals and their doped samples have gained interest because a single liquid crystal compound cannot fulfill all the required parameters for the display application. The doping can be accomplished with dyes, polymers, or composite nanoparticles among other substance. The addition of nanoparticles can modify the physical properties of the host liquid crystal and enhances the performance of electro-optical devices. The present study is focused on investigations of possible changes in dielectric and electro optical properties of liquid crystals caused by doping with ceramic nanoparticles. Including smaller nanoparticles were found to be better candidates for use in suppressing the unwanted ion effects in liquid crystal displays.

  • 방향족 Schiff base 메소제닉 단위와 폴리메틸렌 유연격자로 이루어진 한 계열의 주사슬 액정중합체와 네 계열 화합물의 액정성을 살펴보았다. 이들의 열적 성질과 액정성은 시차 주사 열분석기와 가열판이 부착된 편광현미경에 의하여 조사하였다. 중합체와 화합물 액정상의 성질은 중앙 폴리메틸렌 유연격자와 말단 알콕시기의 길이에 크게 의존하였다. 중합체 I과 계열 III 화합물은 녹는점과 등방성액체화 전이온도에서 짝수-홀수 효과를 보여 주었으나 계열 II와 IV 화합물은 등방성액체화 전이온도에서만 짝수-홀수 효과를 나타내었다. 편광현미경을 통하여 이들의 광학구조를 관찰하였을 때 네마틱과 스멕틱 액정상을 형성하였다.

  • LCD용의 재료로 사용하기 위하여 새로이 합성된 저분자 액정 중간체들을 이용하여 epoxy resin 구조를 근간으로 하는 측쇄형 선형액정 고분자 및 가교된 측쇄형 액정 고분자를 만들고 이 들의 액정특성에 대하여 조사하였다. Alkyl spacer의 길이가 다른 방향족 amine 말단의 방향족 저분자 액정(ALC(n))과 ethylene glycol diglycidylether로부터 합성된 선형 측쇄형 고분자액정은 DSC 및 편광현미경 관찰로부터 mesogen으로 쓰인 저분자 액정과 같이 네마틱 액정상을 보였으며 spacer $-(CH_2){_n}-$의 길이에 따라 액정상-등방상 전이온도($T_{NI}$)는 even-odd현상을 나타내었다. 선형 및 가교형 측쇄 액정고분자의 $T_{NI}$는 저분자 액정의 그것에 비해 더 낮은 온도에서 나타났으며 또한 가교형 측쇄 액정고분자의 경우에는 가교제인 1,10-diaminodecane 사용량에 따른 $T_g$$T_{NI}$의 변화폭이 그렇게 크지 않은 것이 관찰되었다.

  • 폴리(에틸렌 테레프탈레이트)와 액정 폴리에스테르의 블렌드를 등온 결정화 거동에 대하여 연구하였다. 블렌드내의 PET의 결정화 거동을 나타내주는 결정화 속도나 결정이 어떤 모양으로 성장하는가에 대한 정보를 얻기위해 Avrami 식을 이용하였다. 블렌드내 PET의 결정화는 결정화온도에 무관하게 높은 결정화도에 이르기까지 Avrami 식에 잘 적용됨을 알 수 있었으며 Avrami 지수값, n이 2를 나타냄으로써 블렌드내의 PET의 결정이 1차원적으로 성장함을 알 수 있었고, 결정화 온도가 높을수록 결정화 속도가 느려짐을 조사 결과 확인하였다.

  • Here we report a photo polymerization-induced hybrid alignment of a nematic liquid crystal cell which can be applied for a roll to roll fabrication process. Predominant polymerization in the vicinity of UV incident front induced a diffusion of monomers toward front slide and anisotropic polymer network was formed parallel to the polarization direction of the UV light. This induced planar alignment of liquid crystals at the front slide. Simultaneously, homeotropic alignment was induced at the bottom slide as the polymers are phase-separated from a bottom slide.

  • Cinnamate groups are well-known for a dimerization reaction upon exposure to ultraviolet irradiation and a thermal reaction after being heated. In this study, to verify the thermal reaction of the cinnamate group in detail, we investigated the thermal crosslinking of cinnamate oligomers. The thermal reaction of cinnamate oligomers of low molecular weight is induced more readily by thermal energy compared with that of cinnamate polymers. The orientation of the liquid crystal depended on the length of the spacers in the cinnamate oligomers.

  • 유연격자와 메타크릴로일 기 사이에 도입된 벤젠 고리와 메소겐 구조의 말단에 연결된 키랄 중심을 갖는 새로운 두 계열의 메타크릴레이트 단량체를 합성하였다. 이 두 계열에서 유연격자와 메소겐 기의 길이 변화에 따른 액정형성에 대한 효과를 조사하였다. 첫 번째 계열의 화합물들은 합성과정에서 얻어진 중간물질이나 최종물질에서 액정성을 보이지 않았다. 그러나 두 번째 계열에서는 중간물질 뿐만아니라 최종물질에서도 액정성을 보였다.

  • The laminating technique for developing flexible liquid crystal display was demonstrated by using a thin UV curable polymer film and a plastic substrate with patterned polymer wall structure. We adopted the rigid wall structure to provide a solid mechanical support for the stable molecular alignment of liquid crystals (LCs) in the device. The cover film was prepared to have an ability of aligning LC molecules by patterning a micro-groove structure using the soft-lithographic process. These two substrates can be assembled tightly by the laminating and one-step UV irradiation process because of the adhesive nature of the used UV curable polymers. Proposed method can be used to fabricate the flexible LC display with simplicity and also be applicable for a cost-effective roll-to-roll process.

  • Photosensitive polyimides containing cinnamoyl and coumarin side groups were synthesized in a high molecular weight, giving a good quality of films. Nematic liquid-crystal (LC) molecules on the film were aligned along the direction with an angle of $97-99^{\circ}$ respect to the polarization of ultraviolet (UV) light. The LC alignment was induced mainly by the photoaligned polymer chains made by the first UV-exposure even though the film was treated by multiple exposures with changing the polarization of UV light. From these results, it is concluded that the LC alignment on the film is induced by the photodimerization rather than the trans-cis photoisomerization.
