Alignment of liquid crystal molecules on self-assembled monolayer with fluorinated alkyl chain at different deposition time
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract We demonstrated a homeotropic liquid crystal (LC) alignment state on fluorinated self-assembled monolayers (FSAMs) deposited by gas-phase method as a function of deposition time. The gas-phase method to deposit FSAMs was simple process and cost-effective. Contact angle data and surface energy analyses of the FSAMs showed that film formation occurs, and showed a correlation with the homeotropic alignment of LC molecules on the FSAMs. Stable LC alignments on FSAMs were achieved at deposition time over 60 min. In addition, high transparency and thermal stability of FSAM further enhanced its possibility as a LC alignment layer.
