The invention relates to a novel photoactiv copolymer and its use as orientation layers for liquid crystals and in the construction of unstructured and structured optical elements and multi-layer systems. The copolymer contains side chains incorporating photoreactive groups and simultaneously side chains of the general formula I:
wherein
the total number of rings, including the number of rings in optionally present condensed systems is at least two and at most six; and wherein
the broken line symbolizes the point of linkage to the polymer main chain;
A2represents an alicyclic ring or a condensed ring system incorporating 2-5 rings, in which one or more non adjacent CH2 groups are optionally replaced by oxygen, which is unsubstituted or substituted by fluorine or by a straight-chain or branched alkyl residue which is unsubstituted, mono-substituted by cyano or halogeno, or poly-substituted by halogeno, having 1 to 18 carbon atoms and wherein one or more non adjacent CH2 groups may independently be replaced by a group Q, where Q represents -O-, -CO-, -CO-O-, -O-CO-, -Si(CH3)2-O-Si(CH3)2-, -NR2-, -NR2-CO-, -CO-NR2-, -NR2-CO-O-, -O-CO-NR2-, -NR2-CO-NR2-, -CH=CH-, -C≡C-, -O-CO-O-, and R2 represents hydrogen or lower alkyl;
A1, A3each independently of the other represents an aromatic or alicyclic group which is unsubstituted or substituted by fluorine, chlorine, cyano or by a cyclic, straight-chain or branched alkyl residue which is unsubstituted, mono-substituted by cyano or halogeno, or poly-substituted by halogeno, having 1 to 18 carbon atoms and wherein one or more non adjacent CH2 groups may independently be replaced by Q, wherein Q and R2 have the meaning given above, with the proviso that -CH=CH-, -C≡C- are not in conjugation with aromatic rings.
本发明涉及一种新型光活性共聚物及其在液晶定向层和非结构和结构光学元件及多层系统构建中的应用。该共聚物含有包含光活性基团的侧链,同时含有通式 I 的侧链: 其中
环的总数(包括可选缩合体系中的环数)至少为 2 个,最多为 6 个; 断线表示与聚合物主链的连接点;
A2 代表脂环或包含 2-5 个环的缩合环系统,其中一个或多个非相邻的 CH2 基团可选地被氧取代,氧未被取代或被氟取代,或被未被取代、被氰基或卤素单取代或被卤素多取代的直链或支链烷基残基取代、-Si(CH3)2-O-Si(CH3)2-、-NR2-、-NR2-CO-、-CO-NR2-、-NR2-CO-O-、-O-CO-NR2-、-NR2-CO-NR2-、-CH=CH-、-C≡C-、-O-CO-O-,而 R2 代表氢或低级烷基;
A1、A3 各自独立地代表未被取代或被氟、氯、氰基或未被取代的环状、直链或支链烷基残基取代、被氰基或卤素单取代或被卤素多取代的芳香族或脂环族基团、或卤素多取代的、具有 1 至 18 个碳原子的烷基残基,其中一个或多个非相邻的 CH2 基团可独立地被 Q 取代,其中 Q 和 R2 具有上述含义,但 -CH=CH-、-C≡C- 不与芳香环共轭。
