Anisotropic Liquid Crystal Networks for Directed Heat Transfer Materials
TBA TBA
Polymer Chemistry: Hybrid Materials and Applications/TBA
Anisotroptic liquid crystal (LC) polymer networks prepared from programmed reactive mesogens (RM) have numerous advantages in thermal managing devices especially because of the excellent processability. To fabricate the robust LC thin films with excellent thermal, chemical and mechanical stabilities, the photo-polymerization of anisotropically pre-oriented RMs should be conducted on the optimized conditions. Since the final physical properties of anisotroptic LC networks depend on chemical functions and physical intermolecular interactions, the hierarchical superstructures of the programmed RMs with specific chemical functions should be controlled on the different length and time scales before polymerization. This presentation describes the directed heat transfer organic materials using anisotropic LC networks.
