Abstract

Nanoengineering of aligning the shape especially on the microscopic level. Because of this, anisotropic molecules when linear polarized UV light of alignment methods avoiding mechanical contact with the certain wavelength is revealed. Several new molecules aligning substrates are being actively studied. Among the were investigated and their photoalignment behavior is elucidated. Proposed investigation shows the potential of the materials to be used in photonic devices especially on flexible device.
