A series of amorphous photochromic homo- and copolymethacrylates with an azobenzene moiety in the side group is investigated systematically by optical and dielectric spectroscopy. The aliphatic ester component of the comonomer unit and the concentration of the azobenzene groups within the copolymer are varied. The kinetics and the temperature dependence of the E/Z (trans/cis) photoisomerization and of the thermal Z/E (cis/trans) isomerization is studied for spin-coated films of the polymers. To understand the polarity of the polymeric materials as well as the matrix dependence of the reactions and of the photoinduced reorientation processes in the steady state molecular dynamics is investigated by dielectric spectroscopy. A variety of relaxation processes is observed: a γ-relaxation at low temperatures followed by a β-, an α-, and a δ-process. Additionally at room temperature a new -relaxation is detected for polymers containing azobenzene moieties. The temperature dependence of the reaction rate of the thermal Z/E isomerization process measured by optical spectroscopy seems to correlate with the values of the β'-process. A correspondence between dielectric and photochemical behavior is discussed.
A broadband dielectric study of the dispersions of silica spheres (Aerosil 380) in octylcyanobiphenyl (8CB) with densities between 0.083 and 10 g of silica per 1 cm3 of liquid crystal (LC) is reported. High values of silica densities were achieved for the first time to observe the behaviour of the LC monolayer on the surface of the silica particles. The relaxation characteristic of the bulk LC is noticed especially for the samples with low silica densities. Additionally, a slow relaxation was detected, even at temperatures for which the bulk LC is in the crystalline state. It was assigned to the surface layer of LC molecules. Remarkably, the temperature dependence of the relaxation rates for this slow process shows a behaviour typical for glass-forming liquids.
By measuring the complex dielectric function over 15 decades of frequency, the temperature dependence of the mean relaxation time and of the dielectric strength is evaluated for six low-molecular-weight glass-forming liquids and one polymeric melt. For the first time it could be shown that a universal correlation exists between both these quantities with a sharp defined crossover behaviour in the frequency range between 107 Hz and 108 Hz. So two dynamical different regions of the a-relaxation can be distinguished non-ambiguously.
Temperature modulated DSC (TMDSC) in the frequency range from 10-3 Hz to 3.4 10-2 Hz and dielectric spectroscopy in the frequency range from 10-2 Hz to 106 Hz is employed to analyze the temperature dependence of the relaxation rates of the - and of the -relaxation of a liquid crystalline polymethacrylate having a derivative of (p-alkoxy-phenyl)-benzoate as mesogenic unit in the side group. Especially the molecular assignment of the -relaxation was discussed controversial in the literature up to now. By applying a temperature derivative method it was found that the temperature dependencies of the relaxation rates of the dielectric -relaxation and of the dynamic glass transition measured by TMDSC can be described by Vogel/Fulcher/Tammann laws with the same Vogel temperature. Therefore it is argued that the dielectric -relaxation of liquid crystalline polymers is rather due to the dynamic glass transition related to the segmental dynamics of the backbone than to the transverse dipole component of the mesogenic unit.
The crosslinking kinetic of a thin polymeric layer based on a prepolymer of a phthalic aciddiallylester was studied by real-time dielectric spectroscopy in the frequency range from 10-1 to 105 Hz. With increasing reaction time the real part of the dielectric function ε ´ decreases. The time dependence of ε ´ can be described by a stretched exponential function with a stretching exponent of 0.5. This means that the influence of the chemical reaction on ε ´ cannot be described by a first order kinetic. From the temperature dependence of the characteristic time constant an activation energy of 71 kJ/mol could be estimated for the reaction. From the dielectric loss data the change of the relaxation rate of the dynamic glass transition fpα with the reaction time is obtained. After a temperature dependent induction period fpα decreases very strongly. No plateau value which corresponds to a glass transition in the crosslinked system is obtained for long reaction times.
This work presents some results obtained by confining octylcyanobiphenyl (8CB) to the pores of two SBA-15 type host materials: a silica SBA-15 (pores of 10.2 nm) and an aluminum containing AlSBA-15 (pores of 7.5 nm). The LC molecules were loaded inside the pores from a solution in acetone, in a percentage higher than 70% from the maximum possible loading. It was observed that the 8CB molecules confined to molecular sieves may preserve the phase transitions characteristic for the bulk LC provided that the confining pores are sufficiently large, as offered by SBA materials. However, present guest-host interactions play an important role in these phase transitions. Such a behavior is at variance with the 8CB confined to Controlled Porous Glass with the same pore dimensions, for which the bulk-like phase transitions can be always observed.
