We observed that weakly and strongly rubbed polyvinyl-cinnamate surfaces align liquid crystal films perpendicular and parallel to the rubbing direction, respectively. Surface-specific sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy was used to probe molecular orientations and alignments of the rubbed surfaces and provide a molecular-level understanding of the observation.

Abstract
We observed that weakly and strongly rubbed polyvinyl-cinnamate surfaces align liquid crystal films perpendicular and parallel to the rubbing direction, respectively. Surface-specific sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy was used to probe molecular orientations and alignments of the rubbed surfaces and provide a molecular-level understanding of the observation.File in questo prodotto:
