Azobenzene photochemistry is a fascinating area of investigation, on one hand, because it
is fairly wellknown, 1 and on the other hand because it has produced and continues to …

Photoalignment possesses significant advantages in comparison with the usual
'rubbing'treatment of the substrates of liquid crystal display (LCD) cells as it is a non-contact …

Reversible homeotropic*=* planar photochemical alignment controls of a nematic liquid
crystal (LC) are investigated using photochromic command layers comprised of Langmuir …

This book describes the various methods currently used to deposit highly ordered organic
films, and the physical techniques employed in characterizing their properties. Beginning …

Unique in its thorough coverage of applications, not just the basic chemistry and physics of
liquid crystals, Optical Applications of Liquid Crystals includes contributions from leading …

The photoinduced alignment of a liquid crystal (LC) on films of azo dyes was studied for the
liquid crystal display applications. In order to improve the alignment stability of the …

Aminoazobenzene photoreorientation is investigated in systems in which hydrophobically
substituted chromophores are organized in molecular (Langmuir− Blodgett) films on glass …

Upon irradiation with linearly polarized light a photoorientation process occurs in spin-
coated films of polymethacrylates with 4-hexyloxyazobenzene side groups containing para …

The double-layer structure of Langmuir− Blodgett (LB) multilayer assemblies formed by a
thermotropic polyacrylate with 2-hydroxyethyl and [[[[(2-methylbutyl) oxy] phenyl] azo] …
