Abstract
Rise or fall: Complex‐structured freestanding polymer films with molecular order in three dimensions were prepared through photoalignment of polymerizable liquid crystals. The resulting films deform into cone and saddle shapes upon heating.This publication has 39 references indexed in Scilit:
