Alignment layers based on poly(oxadiazole‐naphthylimide)s: New aspects on tuning anisotropy of the surface morphology and adhesion via rubbing

Abstract: Two poly(oxadiazole-naphthylimide) films are prepared and characterized to elucidate their suitability as alignment layers for nematics in display devices. First, rheological behavior is analyzed to establish in correlation with molecular modeling the optimal conditions of solution shearing to obtain uniform films by spin coating. Second, the polymer foils are subjected to rubbing with cellulose diacetate cloth to induce surface anisotropy required for nematic orientation. Novel insights are extracted here by … Show more

“…345 While mechanical rubbing is cost-effective (the equipment is cheap and easy to fabricate) and efficient (highly oriented polymer films can be obtained by repeating the rubbing procedure even tens of times 346 ), this technique carries along some disadvantages: it efficiently orients polymer chains located only at the near-surface region of the films and might produce electrostatic charges and dust particles. 345,347 Although the technique of mechanical rubbing is mostly known for its use in the alignment of PI substrates employed in flat panel liquid crystals displays, 347 nowadays it has been broadly utilized to uniaxially orient polymer films, 348 including conjugated poly(2,5-dinonyloxy-1,4-phenylenevinylene), 349 P3HT, [350][351][352] PBTTT, 353,354 etc. In most of these latter cases, rubbing was conducted to boost the (out-of-plane) anisotropic OFET charge mobility.…”
