Photoreactive polymers as a color filter resist containing both photoreactive acrylate and cinnamate double bonds were synthesized usin two step reactions. The chemical structures of the synthesized polymers were confirmed by $^1H$-NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. The photoreactive polymers were quite soluble in most common organic solvents and produced excellent quality thin films by spin-coating. The photocuring kinetics of the acrylate and cinnamate double bonds were examined by FT-IR and UV- Vis spectroscopy, which confirmed the excellent photoreactivity of both the acrylate and cinnamate double bonds in the polymers. Upon UV irradiation, photocuring was almost completed within approximately 5 min, irrespective of the type of the prepolymers. The polymers also exhibited superior thermal stability, showing little change in transmittance in the visible region even after heating to $250^{\circ}C$ for one hour. Photolithographic micropatterns could be obtained with a resolution of a few microns.

In order to investigate the photoalignment mechanism of nematic liquid crystals on a polymer film, a new photoreactive polymer having chalcone groups as side chains was synthesized. Linearly polarized UV light causes preferential photoreactions of the chalcone unit along the polarization direction and thus induces the anisotrpy in the polymer alignment layer resulting in homogeneous LC alignment perpendicular to the polarization direction. The sequential investigations of photoalignment generated by the preferential E/Z isomerization and (2+2) cycloaddition reactions show that either photoreaction can solely induce the LC alignment in the direction perpendicular to UV polarization.

A series of photoreactive mesogens based on chalcone were prepared and their morphological behavior and reactivity were studied according to a variable number of alkyloxy tail carbons. The linear ester compounds 3a-h comprised two chalcone units connected to a benzene ring through ester linkages. All linear ester compounds showed enantiotropic liquid crystalline phases. The X-ray diffractograms for the mesophases of compounds 3a-h showed a set of reflections in the small-angle region which consisted of more than three sharp diffraction peaks with d spacings in the ratio of 1:1/2:1/3, confirming the well defined smectic A structures of the compounds. Compounds 3a-h were considered to be bifunctional monomers due to the presence of two photoreactive chalcone groups. Upon UV irradiation, its polymerization proceeded through the [2+2] addition reaction between chalcone units in a stepwise manner. An image pattern was obtained by the photopolymerization of the liquid crystal of the compound (3h) with decyloxy tails through a photomask. The irradiated part became dark while the masked part remained birefringent under polarized optical microscopy, which was ascribed to the production via the UV irradiation of a polymer or a dimer having cyclobutane rings by [2+2] addition, which thereby disrupted the alignment of the molecules.

The photoreactive prepolymers with multifunctional cinnamate and bisphenol Atype cinnamate groups that could perform photodimerization without photoinitiators were synthesized by the reaction of t-cinnamic acids (CAs) and epoxy resins. Their photocure reaction rates and the extent of reaction conversion were measured with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and these increased with the intensity of UVirradiation. The experimental data of these reaction rates showed the characteristics of nth-order kinetics reaction, and all kinetic constants of each photoreactive polymer with this equation were summarized. Although the GTR-1800-HCA and KWG1-EP-HCA with hydroxyl group substituted cinnamate showed lower reaction conversion rates and rate constant than GTR-1800-CA and KWG1-EP-CAwith an unsubstituted cinnamate group, GTR-1800-MCAand KWG1-EP-MCAwith methoxy group substituted cinnamate showed similar and higher reaction conversion rates than the former, respectively. These results were explained in terms of segmental mobility for photopolymerization by molecular interactions.

감광성 폴리이미드의 전구체 폴리이미드는 2, 2, 2-트리플루오르에탄 디안하이드라이드의 유도체와 3,3'-디히드록시-4,4'-디아미노비페닐로부터 제조하였다. 감광성 폴리이미드(PI-SP6와 PI-SP12)는 전구체 폴리이미드와 감광성 2-스티릴피리딘알킬렌(헥실렌과 도데실렌)유도체로부터 제조하였다. 합성한 광반응성 폴리이미드는 여러 가지 유기 용매에 잘 녹았다. 감광성 폴리이미드의 초기 열분해온도는 $350^{\circ}C$였다. PI-SP6와 PI-SP12의 유리전이온도는 $130^{\circ}C$와 $85^{\circ}C$였다. 이는 헥실렌기를 가지는 PI-SP6 보다 도데실렌기를 가지는 PI-SP12가 유연하다는 것을 의미한다. 이들 감광성 고분자의 필름은 $250^{\circ}C$에서도 90%의 투과율을 유지하였다. 이 결과는 이들 감광성 폴리이미드가 투명성 및 내열성이 우수한 고분자라는 것을 의미한다. PI-SP6와 PI-SP12는 $1.5\;J/cm^2$ 광량에서 이색비가 각각 0.01과 0.03이었다. 이 결과는 광배향에 유연한 알킬렌 스페이서를 가지는 감광성 폴리이미드가 보다 효과적이라는 것을 뜻한다.

광반응성 곁사슬기로서 4-(4-옥시알킬렌옥시스티릴)피리딘 (에틸렌 및 헥실렌)을 가지는 용해성 폴리이미드를 합성하였고 그 특성을 조사하였다. 합성한 광반응성 고분자들은 여러 가지 극성 유기 용매에 잘 녹았으며 이들 고분자는 용액법으로 쉽게 필름이 형성되었고 필름 상태에서 1.5 J/$\textrm{cm}^2$ 광량을 받았을 때 64%정도 광반응이 진행되었다. 또한 이들 고분자의 필름은 투과율을 20$0^{\circ}C$에서도 85% 정도 유지하였다. 따라서 이들 고분자는 투명성과 용해성이 좋은 감광성 폴리이미드로 평가 될 수 있다. 알킬렌 스페이서로서 에틸렌기를 가지는 고분자와 헥실렌기를 가지는 고분자는 필름 상태에서 이색비가 각각 0.023과 0.026이었다. 선편광에 의해 광반응된 전자의 고분자와 후자의 고분자의 필름 셀에 주입된 액정의 질서 파라미터 값은 각각 0.50과 0.52였다. 이들 결과는 이들 고분자가 광배향에 알킬렌 스페이서 효과를 나타낸다는 것을 뜻한다. 이들 고분자에 의한 액정의 광배향은 선편광 자외선의 전기장 벡터에 대해 수직한 방향이었다.
