Anisotropic Interactions across the Interface Liquid Crystals-Glass with Adsorbed Monolayers of Polysoaps

The interfacial orientations of liquid crystal molecules deposited on different anisotropic solid substrates have been studied. The free energy of adhesion, critical surface tension, and polarity of these systems have been found. The polar contributions to the adhesion free energy of liquid crystal-solid systems have been calculated taking into account the liquid crystal orientation. We have also evaluated the order of magnitude of the anisotropy for the dispersion forces.
