Latest Patents
Fulvio Andruzzi holds a patent for an optical storage medium. This invention describes a macroscopically isotropic side chain liquid crystal polymer containing photochromic mesogenic groups. Through irradiation with light, this polymer can be permanently or substantially permanently converted into an optically anisotropic phase without prior orientation. The polymer is preferably a polyester derived from either an aliphatic, optionally substituted, α,ω-dicarboxylic acid with a total chain length of up to 24 carbon atoms or an aryl, particularly phenyl, carboxylic acid. Additionally, it involves an optionally substituted 1,3-propanediol that contains the mesogenic group or a group with the mesogenic group attached to the carbon in the 2-position. Furthermore, the invention includes an optical storage device comprising a film of this polymer.
