Abstract: The alignment of a ferroelecric liquid crystal on polyimide LB (Langmuir-Blodgett) films was investigated. Among the samples examined, a polyimide prepared from p-phenylenediamine and 3, 3′, 4, 4′, biphenyl tetracarboxylic dianhydride was the best material in order to obtain high orientation of ferroelectric liquid crystal molecules. When the conformation of the main chain of polymer molecule was linear, the higher ordering of the liquid crystal molecule was achieved.
