Abstract: ABSTRACT Two photo-activators, AAP and CAP, were synthesized with cyclohexanone oxime with methyl and cronic anhydrides. They were used to improve the liquid crystal (LC) alignment properties by increasing the surface azimuthal anchoring energy, that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physreve.101.062703
Abstract: Herein, a method is proposed to determine the azimuthal anchoring energies of surface liquid crystals (LCs), as they gradually change orientation from a vertical to a horizontal state owing to an increase in the voltage… read more here.
