Scanning Wave Photopolymerization Enables Dye-free Alignment Patterning of Liquid Crystals (1 of 1)

Caption

Liquid crystals are arbitrarily 2-D patterned with nonpolarized light by a new dye-free photoalignment method. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the 10 Nov. 2017, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by K. Hisano at Tokyo Institute of Technology in Yokohama, Japan, and colleagues was titled, "Scanning wave photopolymerization enables dye-free alignment patterning of liquid crystals."
