Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Liquid crystalline (LC) polymer materials were designed to realize the effective control of their organized structures for dynamic alignment of inorganic nanorods. It was revealed that the introduction of non-LC alkyl side-chains into nematic LC polymers promotes the interaction of functional small molecules with side-chain LC mesogens by improving the affinity of the molecules with the LC polymers. It was also demonstrated that the photo-responsive behaviors of the side-chain mesogens in sub-100nm-thick thin films could be promoted by the assistance of small LC molecules. The results led to the underlying technologies of the dynamic alignment control of inorganic nanorods.
