From: New strategies and implications for the photoalignment of liquid crystalline polymers
Photoalignment behavior of PAz obtained in the diblock framework with an amorphous alkyl methacrylate chain of different Tg. The figure below indicates the in-plane orientation order parameter (S) achieved by linearly polarized light (LPL) irradiation as a function of temperature during the irradiation procedure. Schematic drawings indicating the azobenzene mesogen alignment states are displayed below. Adapted with permission.104 Copyright 2013, American Chemical Society.
