## Abstract Permeation characteristics of an azobenzene‐containing liquid crystalline (LC) non‐porous film are investigated using a metallic corrosion method. Thin films (300 nm) are fabricated by the solution casting of an azobenzene side‐chain LC polymer on freshly polished carbon steel coupons.

The 'transHcis' reversible photoisomerization process tends to align azobenzene derivatives perpendicular to the polarization direction of the pumping beam. It is shown that in the trans-rcis optical transition the cis state is aligned perpendicular to the pumping light polarization. This is shown f
A new photo-cross-linkable liquid crystalline polymer (PLCP) comprised 4-methoxycinnamoyloxy groups connected with a bistolane side group was synthesized to investigate thermally enhanced photoinduced molecular reorientation of a thin film with linearly polarized (LP) 365 nm light exposure. Due to t
## Abstract A series of functionalized liquid‐crystalline polymer materials with different degrees of functionality was synthesized by a post Sonogashira cross‐coupling reaction of a polymer precursor. The post‐functionalization was carried out under mild conditions and showed a high yield. Althoug
