The present invention provides compositions, devices and methods related to the alignment of materials including polymers. In some cases, the present invention comprises the assembly of molecules (e.g., polymers) via intermolecular interactions to produce extended networks, which may have enhanced properties relative to the individual molecules. Such networks may be advantageous for use in electronics, photovoltaics, sensor applications, and the like. In some embodiments, the present invention may enhance the performance of certain optical devices, such as liquid crystal displays (e.g., color liquid crystal displays) by providing enhanced contrast ratio, faster response times, and/or lower operating voltage.
本发明提供了与包括聚合物在内的材料排列相关的组合物、设备和方法。在某些情况下,本发明包括通过分子间相互作用组装分子(例如聚合物)以产生扩展网络,这些网络可能相对于单个分子具有增强的性能。这种网络可能在电子学、光伏、传感器应用等领域中具有优势。在某些实施方式中,本发明可以通过提供增强的对比度、更快的响应时间和/或更低的工作电压来提高某些光学设备的性能,例如液晶显示器(例如彩色液晶显示器)。
