Abstract

The application of photoalignment technique for rheological study of liquid crystals is considered. Such technique can be used for the initial preparation and rotation of mono domain samples of liquid crystals. It provides new possibilities in measurements of anisotropic viscosities of liquid crystals. Three shear and the rotational viscosities of nematic liquid crystals can be determined at additional usage of the electric field.
