The UV-induced alignment of nematic liquid crystals on Probimide 32 preimidized polyamide-imide surfaces is investigated. Exposing the polymer layer to linearly polarized deep UV ( l Γ 254 nm) produces an aligning effect comparable to that achieved by mechanically brushing the polymer film. A laser

## Abstract Observations of the influence of a simultaneous action of different surface topographies and polar or nonpolar additives in small concentration on the alignment properties of liquid crystal molecules are reported. The additive dependence of the threshold behaviour of planar aligned liqu
## Abstract Films were formed by casting and shearing ethyl cellulose in chloroform at high coating speed and thin coating thickness. The films were used as alignment layers for liquid crystals. Atomic force microscopy and polarizing optical microscopy (POM) were used to identify the bandedβtexture
## Abstract We report a new strategy, the directional peeling of a rigiflex mold with a nanostructure, to overcome several problems with general patterning techniques for liquidβcrystal (LC) alignment. These include difficulty in generating the pretilt angle and in controlling the LC risingβup dire
