Photoinduced anisotropy measurements in liquid-crystalline azobenzene side-chain polyesters

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Reversible photoinduced anisotropy in a series of liquid-crystalline azobenzene side-chain polyesters is investigated as a function of intensity of the write beam and the sample temperature. Measurements reveal that the erasing takes place at a temperature much higher than the glass transition temperature. Induced anisotropy can be erased by heating the polyesters to approximately 80 °C.
