Abstract—We synthesized photo cross linkable side chain photopolymer with a chalcone derivative in the side chain. The photopolymer has the alkyl spacer introduced between the main chain and chalconyl moiety. The thermal stability of this photopolymer was measured by differential scanning calorimetry and the thermogravimetric analysis measurement. The retardation of prepared photoalignment film with different polarized UV exposure energy was evaluated for confirming λ/4 = 125 nm at 500 nm. This result indicated the photodimerization contributes to the enhancement of LC photoa lignment.
Index Terms—Chalcone, liquid crystals, thermal stability, photodimerization, UV exposure energy.
