Abstract

We report on high quality photoalignment of reactive mesogen RMS-013C on surfaces of cellulose-cinnamate polymer. Unique photosensitivity of cellulose-cinnamate and high quality photo-orientation of reactive mesogene in this polymer allow cellulose-cinnamate to be considered as promising material for producing thin birefringent polymer films by roll-to-roll technology.
