Horizontally and vertically aligned helical conjugated polymers: Comprehensive formation mechanisms of helical fibrillar morphologies in orientation-controlled asymmetric reaction fields consisting of chiral nematic liquid crystals

Horizontally and vertically aligned helical polyacetylenes (H-PAs) were synthesised in orientation-controlled chiral nematic liquid crystals (N*-LC). The formation mechanisms for the horizontally and vertically aligned H-PA in the horizontal and vertical N*-LC were elucidated.
