Dynamic optical data storage and other applications in the field of optical data processing would be possible due to development of suitable nonlinear optical materials. In this paper, we present experimental investigations of an orientation photorefractive effect in nematic liquid crystal mixtures with different optical anisotropy and various layers of cell.

We report on first studies of wetting of liquid crystal on photoaligning surface. We observed strong light-induced variations of a contact angle of a liquid LC 5CB on a photoaligning surface of fluoro-polyvinyl-cinnamate (PVCN-F) and we connected these variations with changes of PVCN-F polarity. We also present drastic changes of the contact angle of a nematic liquid crystal (MLC-6080) on the PVCN-F surface in a vicinity of temperature anchoring transition of liquid crystal from homeotropic orientation to planar one. We did not find any peculiarities in temperature dependence of the contact angle of isotropic liquid (glycerol) on PVCN-F and of nematic liquid crystal on pure glass in the same temperature range. It allows us to suggest that rearrangement of LC molecules and flexible fragments in the LC-polymer interface are responsible for the change of surface tensions both of LC and polymer and the observed jump of the contact angle.

The sticking effect on photoaligning surfaces was investigated. We demonstrated that additional irradiation of photoaligning polymers with cinnamoyl side groups with not-polarized UV-light strongly decreases their sticking parameter. We associate this effect with cross-linking of the flexible side-groups by UV light and, as a consequence, with light-induced strengthening of the photoaligning surface. Restriction of mobility of the flexible groups on the photoaligning surface (surface strengthening) resulted in depressing the sticking effect. The method of the decrease of the sticking effect by the light-induced strengthening is rather general, and it can be applied for any photoaligning materials undergoing a light-induced cross-linking of polymer fragments. For poly(vinyl 4-fluorocinnamate) the light-induced strengthening allowed us to get the record value of the sticking parameter, S₀= 0.2%, which is better than traditional rubbed polyimide surfaces provide. Such a value of the sticking parameter along with other aligning characteristics allows considering poly(vinyl 4- fluorocinnamate) as very prospective material for modern liquid crystal display technologies.
