Cholesteric Liquid Crystalline

Solutions of lyotropic cholesteric liquid crystalline hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) in water would be self-colored due to the selective reflection of visible light, depending on the solution concentration. Colored coating of the liquid crystalline aqueous HPC solutions was attempted to apply. HPC solid films were found which could cast from the liquid crystalline solutions at different conditions such as solution concentration and different drying temperature. Experiments show that both solution concentration and cooling velocity play an important effect in controlling the color of HPC films.

The freestanding fiber and film comprised of a reactive liquid-crystalline block copolymer were fabricated by facile techniques such as dip-drawing or casting and thereafter immersion to undergo the post-crosslinking. Both of the CLCP fiber and film showed reversible bending and unbending behaviors in response to UV and visible light, respectively.

Linearly Polarized

Spin coated films of a chiral comb-like liquid crystalline copolymer containing azobenzene chromophores in its side chains are optically isotropic in their twisted smectic-like glassy state. In contact with a nematic liquid crystal (5CB, E7, MBBA) they provide a degenerate planar orientation. When irradiated by unpolarized UV light, they orient the same nematics homeotropically. Treated with linearly polarized UV light they orient nematics homogeneously with the director along the electric vector of the exciting light. After a combined irradiation first with unpolarized UV light and then with linearly polarized visible light, the films again provide a homogeneous liquid crystal orientation, this time with the director perpendicular to the visible light electric vector. The phenomena observed are related to the light induced optical anisotropy. Two main processes are responsible for the anisotropy (1) a UV light depletion of trans-isomers of the azobenzene chromophores from the chosen direction and (2) a reorientation of the chromophores by polarized visible light.
