P‐66: Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Interface between Liquid Crystal and Polyacrylate with Alkyl Sidechain

Abstract

We have performed molecular dynamics simulation of interface between liquid crystal and polyacrylate with different alkyl sidechain length, and qualitatively observed the same orientational behavior as experimental results. We also have analyzed the structure of the interface, concretely the distribution of orientational order parameter near the interface and the relationship between orientational direction of liquid crystal molecules and sidechain.
