โœฆ Synopsis

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 liquid crystal cells is also studied.

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 ร… 254 nm) produces an aligning effect comparable to that achieved by mechanically brushing the polymer film. A laser

## Abstract Nematic liquid crystals (NLCs), 4โ€cyanoโ€4โ€ฒโ€pentylbiphenyl and 4โ€cyanoโ€4โ€ฒโ€octylbiphenyl, were applied as additives to polymer solar cells with P3HT:PC~61~BM blend films. The incorporation of NLC additives led to a higher absorbance of the blend film, a higher crystallinity of P3HT, close
