Ordering of α , ω -dihexyl- α -quaterthiophene (DH α 4T) thin films on substrates including friction-transferred polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is explored. DH α 4T exhibits a high-temperature mesophase from 81 to 181 °C. Textural analysis reve

Electronic systems that use rugged lightweight plastics potentially offer attractive characteristics (low-cost processing, mechanical flexibility, large area coverage, etc.) that are not easily achieved with established silicon technologies. This pap

Surface interactions of liquid crystals at interfaces are crucial for the performance of devices that use liquid crystals. Many dispersions of polymers and liquid crystals for electro-optic applications are made by polymerization-induced phase separa

A surface anchoring transition of a nematic at polymer surfaces created by polymerization-induced phase separation is presented. This transition is unusual in that it occurs far from bulk nematic phase transitions and it is tunable across nearly the

Block copolymer melts with a near-symmetric composition can microphase-separate to form a lamellar morphology where unfavorable monomeric interactions are reduced by an antiparallel layering of the polymer chains (see Figure 2, discussed later). The

Alignment of lamellar block copolymer microstructure in an electric field was studied. Two mechanisms of alignment are considered: selective electric-field-induced disordering and alignment through movement of defects. The latter mechanism is support

In organic inclusion compounds the strong and restrictive polymer-polymer intermolecular interactions of the bulk polymer crystal are replaced with the less limiting geometrical constraints of the channel walls. This facilitates the study of isolated

The kinetics of alignment of block copolymer microstructure in an electric field has been studied. The rate of alignment obeys a simple time-temperature-field superposition law when thermal history is well-controlled. Thermal history also strongly af

The quasi-static mechanical properties of lamellar blocks copolymer microstructure in weak segregation are calculated. In analogy with the smectic A liquid crystal phase, the mechanical properties are represented in terms of a layer compressibility a
