Abstract

The invention discloses a method for controlling the orientation of the domains of a liquid crystal polymer through the anchoring effect of a surface coating. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, synthesizing liquid crystal monomers, polymerizing the liquid crystal monomers to obtain a liquid crystalline polymer, then dissolving the liquid crystalline polymer, coating the solution of the liquid crystalline polymer in a spinning way to obtain a liquid crystalline polymer film, coating the surface of the liquid crystalline polymer film in a spinning way, and annealing to obtain a liquid crystal polymer film with a strippable surface coating. The polarity of the surface coating does not need to be controlled, and the liquid crystal polymer with the surface coating is easy to obtain. Compared with a surface coating formed on a segmented copolymer film, the strippable surface coating can be removed easily without affecting the nature of the liquid crystal polymer so that the shape and appearance of the liquid crystal polymer can be researched conveniently. In addition, the liquid crystal monomer and the liquid crystal polymer can be synthesized easily, the method for controlling the anchoring orientation of the liquid crystal through the strippable surface coating can be used for preparing industrial nano materials, and because the surface coating is soluble and innoxious, the surface coating can be applied to biological materials and has potential application value.
