Abstract:
We report the anchoring transition in a discotic liquid crystal, hexapentyloxytriphenylene
(HPT), from edge-on to side-on alignment in a discotic phase. The topology, easy
direction of orientation and the coating of the substrate with a polymer are the determining
factors for the alignment and the anchoring transition in a discotic liquid crystal.
