Abstract
We compare photoaligning properties of polymer layers fabricated from the same constituents: polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) and azo-dye Disperse Red 1 (DR1), either chemically attached to the PMMA main-chain, or physically mixed with it. Photoaligning properties depend on the preparation method drastically. This finding is supported by atomic force microscope (AFM) scans monitoring the light-induced changes at the polymer−air interface, and revealing a photoinduced mass transfer.
