Abstract
Since a transition from liquid crystal to crystal state is slow for the large photo-reactive liquid crystal molecules, it needs a long time for recrystallization of LC242 molecules when lowering the temperature of the liquid crystal. Although liquid crystals usually align along one direction, the directions of individual liquid crystal molecules are little different from one another with increasing temperature, resulting in changes of birefringence of the liquid crystal films. When the photo-reactive liquid crystals are photo-cured, faster curing kinetics and much larger curing degrees are observed for the films cured at the liquid crystal phase.

LC242와 같이 분자량이 큰 광반응성 액정 물질은 온도를 낮출 때 액정상에서 결정으로의 변화가 빠르지 못하여 액정분자를 재결정을 할 때는 충분한 시간이 필요하다. 액정 상태에서 분자의 배열 정도가 온도에 따라 영향받는 것을 알 수 있는데, 액정상의 LC242는 온도가 높아짐에 따라 액정 배열을 한 방향으로 계속 유지하고 있어도 온도에 따른 LC242 분자들의 움직임에 의하여 조금씩 배열이 달라져 복굴절의 변화를 가져오는 것을 알 수 있다. 광반응성 액정을 경화할 때 액정 상의 온도에서 광조사를 하면 고체상의 경우보다 반응 속도가 빠르고 경화도가 훨씬 많이 진행되는 것을 Photo-DSC 실험과 FTIR을 이용하여 정량적으로 분석하였다.

Keywords: photo-curing; liquid crystals; transition; arrangements; curing degree.
