| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objective of this study was to develop functional polymeric materials having a blue phase structure. A blue phase is one kind of liquid crystals structures that are formed by strong helical induction. In this study, new polymerizable liquid-crystalline mixtures showing stable nematic were developed and by adding chiral dopants into the mixtures, polymerizable liquid crystals showing a cubic blue phase were obtained. Photopolymerization of the blue phase mixture gave polymer films with fixed blue phase structures. Supramolecular liquid-crystalline mixtures containing polymerization groups and hydrogen bonding and showing stable nematic phase was also successfully developed. Polymer films with supramolecular blue phase structures were successfully obtained.
