Abstract
Monomolecular films made by a Langmuir-Blodgett method with organosilicon compounds of different structure have been investigated. The monomolecular layer of alkyltriethoxysilane with more than eight carbon atoms in the chain can be transferred onto a glass substrate. Such film provides homogeneous LC alignment without rubbing.
