Side-chain liquid-crystalline polyesters for optical information storage.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report erasable holographic recording with a resolution of at least 2500 lines/mm on unoriented films of sidechain liquid-crystalline polyesters. Recording energies of approximately 1 J/cm(2) have been used. We have obtained a diffraction efficiency of approximately 30% with polarization recording of holograms. The holograms can be erased by heating them to approximately 80 degrees C for approximately 2 min and are available for rerecording.

متن کاملStilbene-containing Thermotropic Liquid Crystalline Polyesters for Aerospace Applications
Materials used in space travel must maintain thermal and dimensional stability in extreme conditions, while remaining melt processable for ease of industrial production. The rigid chemical structure of stilbene often correlates to polymers exhibiting a liquid crystalline morphology and the olefinic bond undergoes a [2 + 2] cycloaddition in the presence of UV light. Based on the combined benefit...
متن کاملPhase Transformations in Chiral Non-racemic Main-chain Liquid Crystalline Polyesters Involving Double-twist Helical Crystals
It is for the first time the double-twisted helical single lamellar crystals were observed in a series of synthetic chiral non-racemic main-chain liquid crystalline polyesters. Phase structure and transition behaviors were investigated. Multiple liquid crystalline phases were found including the twisted grain boundary phase. During crystallization, the chain molecules kept their memory of the p...
متن کاملMolecular organization in side chain liquid crystalline polymers
2014 We have synthesized a series of side chain liquid crystalline polymers which differ only by the terminal end group of the mesogenic moieties. X-ray diffraction experiments show the existence of a lower temperature smectic A phase following the nematic phase, while optical microscopy was not able to show smectic A characteristic textures. The diffraction patterns give information about the ...
متن کاملPolarization holographic gratings in side-chain azobenzene polyesters with linear and circular photoanisotropy.
We investigate thin phase polarization holographic gratings recorded with two waves with orthogonal linear polarizations in materials in which illumination with linearly/circularly polarized light gives rise to linear/circular birefringence. The theoretical analysis shows that the presence of circular photoanisot-ropy changes significantly the diffraction characteristics of the gratings. The in...
