Popis: | ABA block copolymers of DL-amino acids and alkylene oxide were studied as alignment films for ferroelectric liquid lciqryusitda ls (FLC). When the equal amount of D-NCA (N-carboxyamino acid anhydride) and L-NCA was mixed at first and polymerized as an ABA block copolymer with α- (3-aminopropy1) ω-aminoethylpoly (oxyethylene) [poly (ethylene oxide) diamine], uniform alignment of FLC was observed on the copolymer. When D-NCA and L-NCA were added one by one, uniform alignment of FLC was not observed. Furthermore, block copolymer of DL-γ-methyl glutamate and alkyleneoxide aligned FLC normal to the rubbing direction of the thin film. In the case of block copolymer of ethylene oxide and DL-leucine, FLC was aligned in parallel to the rubbing direction. |
