Optical Alignment and Patterning of Nanoscale Microdomains in a Block Copolymer Thin Film
Journal ArticleDOI
Versatility of photoalignment techniques: From nematics to a wide range of functional materials
TL;DR: In this article, a review of photoalignment processes applied to a wide range of materials, surveying relatively recent work, is presented, and some important related alignment and patterning processes are also introduced to clarify the significance of these photo-alignment techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Free-surface molecular command systems for photoalignment of liquid crystalline materials
TL;DR: An approach to control the orientation of liquid crystals from the free (air) surface side is reported: a skin layer at the free surface was prepared using a non-photoresponsive liquid crystalline polymer film by surface segregation or inkjet printing an azobenzene-containingLiquid crystalline block copolymer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photoinduced 3D Ordering and Patterning of Microphase-Separated Nanostructure in Polystyrene-Based Block Copolymer
TL;DR: In this paper, photoalignment and realignment of nanocylinder domains of a polystyrene-based block copolymer film in both in-plane and out-of-plane modes are successfully attained by irradiating with linear polarized (LPL) or nonpolarized light at 436 nm followed by annealing.
