Liquid-crystalline polymers, LCPs, possess an ordered liquid state between their crystalline solid state and their isotropic state. It is not only their ordering that makes this material interesting but actually their hybrid character, i.e., they behave both like liquid crystals and like polymers. In the bulk this class of material has been studied extensively and it is still under further study. However, studies of the surface phenomena and thin films of LCPs are very scarce.What started as a study with a high practical impact, namely the use of side-chain liquid-crystalline polymers as a primer layer for coatings, evaluated into a thorough investigation on surface phenomena of thin films of ordered fluids.The thin films were prepared by s...
