Preparation of Polythiophene Films Showing Optical Activity by Electrochemical Polymerisation in Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Containing Coumarine

Full Text PDF

Abstract:

We carried out electrochemical polymerisation in a cholesteric liquid crystal electrolyte solution. The polymer film prepared in the cholesteric liquid crystal showed chiropticality even though its monomer is an achiral. The surface morphology of the polymer was observed with polarising optical microscopy. Optical and electric properties were examined by UV-vis optical absorption, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry.
