Abstract
The pi-A isotherm and transfer characteristics of polymerizable liquid crystals spread at the air-water interface were investigated. The lim iting areas of n-[(4-cyano-4'-biphenyl)oxy] alkyl vinyl ether (CN-n-M) homologues series of n = 8, 10, and 11 were about 10, 13, and 17 Angs trom(2)/molecule respectively, and smaller than the area of hydrophili c cyanobiphenyl group. All the CN-n-M formed apparently stable monolay ers and the transferred type of pure CN-11-M monolayer on the hydrophi lic surface was Z-type for the first several layers. The monolayer of a mixture with poly(amic acid) salts at 25 mN/m was polymerized by UV- irradiation.
