## Abstract The surface‐assisted alignment of a nematic liquid crystal yields a persistent ordered structure upon cationic photopolymerization of liquid‐crystalline epoxides. Linearly polarized light irradiation of a photocrosslinkable polymer containing azobenzene moieties played a crucial role in

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
