o-Phenylene Octamers as Surface Modifiers for Homeotropic Columnar Ordering of Discotic Liquid Crystals.

Large-area homeotropic columnar ordering of π-conjugated discotic liquid crystals (LCs) is crucial for certain device applications but generally hard to achieve. Here we report polymeric o-phenylene octamer poly-1 and its monomer 1 as the first surface modifiers for homeotropic columnar order of a v...
