Abstract

Liquid crystal (LC) fibers formed by the self-assembly of LC molecules are promising for optical devices. However, the LC fibers reported previously were metastable and not reliable. In this study, we fabricated LC fibers using polymerizable monomers (PM). The growth rate decreased and the thickness increased compared to those of pure LC fibers. Our results will be useful for photopolymerization and will provide information for the application of the LC fibers.
