Effect of Molecular Weight on Liquid Crystal Photoalignment by Photosensitive Polyester Containing Thrifluoromethyl Moieties

We investigate the liquid-crystal （LC） alignment direction on photoalignment films formed from photosensitive polyester containing thrifluoromethyl moieties （PPDA） with various molecular weights by crossed polarized optical microscopy. It is found that LC alignment behaviour changes with molecular weight of PPDA. The LC alignment on PPDA irradiated films with the highest molecular weight is homogeneous, while those with low and intermediate molecular weights are homeotropic. However, surface morphologies show weak dependence on molecular weight. The surfaces are smooth and there is no clear morphological anisotropy on these aligned films observed by an atomic force microscope. The surface energies of the irradiated films are also measured by using an indirect contact-angle method where both surface energy and its polar component, increase with increasing molecular weight. Different polar surface energies can be considered as a main reason for different alignment characteristics.     

物理给予我创新原动力

正《物理》编辑部分享了多篇各个时期著名女物理学家的自述文章,我逐篇细读,深为她们的科学精神所感染。她们热爱物理,不是为了追名逐利,更不是为了出人头地。这样的胸怀赋予了她们对物理执着追求的动力,使她们义无反顾地放弃国外的优厚待遇回到国内教书育人,为中华民族的崛起默默地累积能量,燃烧自己。这种精神不仅值得当代女性物理学者们学习,更值得整个科技界崇尚和鼓励。我国当代的教育政策,我认为     

DCEL材料的包铜新工艺

通过包铜过程的分析,了解到包铜反应主要是表面化学吸附反应,ZnS颗粒表面状况对生成的CuxS性质影响很大,据此设计了淬火包铜工艺,并得到形成功率较低,抗老化性能好的DCEL粉.本文初步分析了淬火生成的CuxS相,认为它的初态处于一种高度无序状击,经一段时间可自然发生某种相变.新相比较稳定,从而可能抑制由Cu+迁移造成的老化.

Electrically tunable holographic waveguide display based on holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal grating

In this Letter, we present an electrically tunable holographic waveguide display(HWD) based on two slanted holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal(HPDLC) gratings. Experimental results show that a see-through effect is obtained in the HWD that both the display light from HWD and the ambient light can be clearly seen simultaneously. By applying an external electric field, the output intensity of the display light can be modulated,which is attributed to the field-induced rotation of the liquid crystal molecules in the two HPDLC gratings.We also show that this electrically tunable performance enables the HWD to adapt to different ambient light conditions. This study provides some ideas towards the development of HWD and its application in augmented reality.
