  • PVDF[poly(vinylidene fluoride)] 압전소자로 제작된 초음파 변환기를 이용하여 초음파 spectroscopy 측정시스템을 제작하였다. 이 장치를 이용하여 MBBA(p-methoxy benzylidene-p-n-butylaniline) 액정의 nematic-isotropic 상전이 현상을 관측한 결과 상전이 온도가 $47^{\circ}C$임을 확인하였으며, 기존의 광학적 방법에 의해 관측된 값과 잘 일치하였다. 한편으로 상전이 점의 주파수 의존성을 확인하였으나 이는 관측되지 않았으며, 단지 PVDF 압전소자의 공진주파수인 2 MHz에서 초음파의 진폭이 최대로 나타났으며, 다른 주파수에서는 진폭이 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같이 온도의 변화에 따른 액정의 상전이 현상을 초음파 감쇠의 변화로 확인하여 보았다. 이것은 액정의 상전이 메카니즘을 해석함에 있어 PVDF 초음파 변환기를 이용한 spectroscopy 측정 시스템은 매우 유용한 도구로 이용될 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 의료용으로 이용할 경우 겸상세포 빈혈증이나 동맥 경화증과 같은 질병 진단에 이용 가능하리라 여겨진다.

  • 두 종류의 니트로아조벤젠 유도체들, 즉 4-{4'-(니트로페닐아조)펜옥시}알칸 산(NAAn, n = 2~8, 10, 알킬 사슬 중의 메틸렌 기의 수) 그리고 4-{4'-(니트로페닐아조)펜옥시}알카노일 클로라이드(NACn, n = 2~8, 10)을 합성함과 동시에 이들의 열방성 액정의 거동을 검토하였다. NAA6은 쌍방성 네마틱 상을 형성하는 반면 NAA2을 제외한 나머지 유도체들은 단방성 네마틱 상을 형성하였다. NAAn 그리고 NACn이 나타내는 액체 상에서 네마틱 상으로의 전이온도($T_{iN}$) 그리고 $T_{iN}$에서의 엔트로피 변화(${\Delta}S$)는 n의 변화에 따라 현저한 홀수-짝수 효과를 나타냈다. 그러나 NAAn의 $T_{iN}$ 그리고 ${\Delta}S$는 n이 동일한 NACn의 $T_{iN}$ 그리고 ${\Delta}S$ 값에 비해 대단히 높았다. 이러한 사실은 카복실 그룹간에 작용하는 수소결합력에 의해 초래되는 것으로 생각된다. NAAn 그리고 NACn이 나타내는 액정 상의 열적 안정성과 질서도 그리고 홀수-짝수 효과는 4-(알콕시)-4'-니트로아조벤젠들에 대해 보고되어 있는 결과와는 현저히 달랐다. 이러한 특성을 분자의 이방성 그리고 온도에 의존하는 치환기 그룹의 유연성 차이 견지에서 검토하였다.

  • Liquid crystal-polymer composite(LCPC) films consisting of a continuous LC phase embedded in a three-dimensional network of polymer matrix are formed by photopolymerization-induced phase separ on. The LCPC films are switched from a light-scattering stats to a highly transparent stats on the application of electric fields. Since the alignment of LC molecular determines the electro-optical properties of films, the requirement for good contrast is to generate the nematic phase at high concentration. On the other hand, the concentration of UV-curable monomer must be increased above some critical value to from the flexible matrix of unbounded polymer. The mixing ratio of LC and UV-curable monomer affects the electro-optical and viscoelastic properties of LCPD films in two opposing ways. By controlling the phase separation process, at an LC fraction of 0.7, the maximum performance of LCPC films has been achieved, the response time of which is 2ms on the application of electric fields.

  • In this paper, we report the fabrication of high quality polymer walls by using a monomer containing fluorine (F-monomer). Polymer walls with no phase retardation were fabricated by using photo-polymerization induced anisotropic phase separation of the mixture composed of liquid crystal (LC) and F-monomer. Thanks to the immiscibility of fluoride, we could form high quality polymer walls with no light leakage. We measured electro-optic characteristics of a twisted-nematic (TN) LC cell whose polymer walls were fabricated by using the F-monomer, and the measurements were compared with that fabricated by using the monomer without fluorine.

  • A new series of three ring type liquid crystalline compounds containing partially fluorinated alkenyl or alkyl side chains together with fluorine substituted cyclohexylbiphenyls were designed and synthesized in this study. The structures of synthe sized compounds were established by 1 H, 13 C and 19 F NMR spectroscopy. The phase transition temperatures of fluorinated liquid crystalline compounds were determined by cross-polarizing mi-croscopy equipped withhot stage. All compounds were found to have nematic liquid crystalline phase with rel-atively low phase transition temperature and wide liquid crystalline temperature range. The dependence of phase transition temperatures on the chainlength falls into three categories; (a) decreasing transition tempera-tures for 4-fluoro-4'-[4-fluoro-4-(1-fluoroalkyl)cyclohexyl]biphenyl (15) series, (b) higher transition tempera-tures for odd numbered chains for 4-fluoro-4'-[4-fluoro-4-(1-fluoroalk-1-enyl)cyclohexyl]biphenyl (14) series, (c) higher transition temperatures for even numbered chains for 4-[4-(1,2-difluoroalk-1-enyl)-4-fluorocyclo-hexyl]-4'-fluorobiphenyl (16) series.

  • 비페닐 티오에스터 계열 강유전성 액정물질에 대한 새로운 합성방법이 논의되었다. 합성된 많은 액정물질들은 강유전성 스메틱 C상 뿐만 아니라 키랄네마틱과 스메틱 A상을 나타내었으며, $10^{-8}$C/c$m^2$ 이상의 큰 자발분극을 나타내었다. 이 계열들로써 우리는 비대칭 탄소에 붙은 치환체의 크기와 분극도가 자발분극에 미치는 영향을 조사하였으며 치환체의 크기에 대한 Sc*상의 안정도를 결정할 수 있었다.

  • Mesogenic and azo monomers were synthesized and copolymerized to obtain two copolymers composed of methacrylate and itaconate backbone. Glass transition temperatures of the copolymers were found to be slightly higher than ambient temperature. Both the copolymers showed liquid crystalline properties. Trans-cis isomerization in film state was observed under UV-irradiation with a light of 365 nm. Regarding the photochemical phase transition behavior, the transition rate of nematic-to-isotropic state was slightly faster in the methacrylate copolymer during irradiation at 365 nm and the rate of the reverse transition was much faster in itaconate copolymer under thermal effect.
