本発明に用いる重合体はポリアミック酸同様脱水閉環によりイミド化反応をさせることができる。本発明の重合体をイミド化させる方法としては、重合体の溶液をそのまま加熱する熱イミド化、重合体の溶液に触媒を添加する触媒イミド化が挙げられる。

液晶配向性および電圧保持率は以下のようにして評価した。
液晶配向剤を1.0μmのフィルターで濾過した後、電極付き基板(横30mm×縦40mmの大きさで、厚さが1.1mmのガラス基板。電極は幅10mm×長さ40mmの矩形で、厚さ35nmのITO電極)に、スピンコート塗布にて塗布した。50℃のホットプレート上で5分間乾燥させた後、180℃のIR式オーブンで20分間焼成を行い、膜厚100nmの塗膜を形成させて液晶配向膜付き基板を得た。この液晶配向膜をレーヨン布(吉川化工株式会社製YA-20R)でラビング(ローラー直径:120mm、ローラー回転数:1000rpm、移動速度:20mm/sec、押し込み長:0.4mm)した後、純水中にて1分間超音波照射をして洗浄を行い、エアブローにて水滴を除去した後、80℃で15分間乾燥して液晶配向膜付き基板を得た。

<評価基準>
○: 剥離がなく良好な場合
△: 削れカスや傷が多く見られた
×: 剥離している場合
比較例1および2はポリアミック酸やポリイミドから成る液晶配向剤である。ポリアミック酸である比較例1の材料においては、ポリアミック酸は溶解性が非常に高いため良好な印刷性が得られたが、これらを液晶配向膜として使用する場合、高温で加熱することによってイミド化反応をさせる必要があるため、イミド化反応が起こらない180℃での焼成では十分な特性を得ることが出来ないことが考えられた。比較例2(SE-7492)も同様と考えられた。
一方、本発明の重合体は溶媒に対する溶解性が高く、良好な印刷性を得ることができた。また非常に水素結合性の強い骨格を有しているため、溶媒を除去するだけで高い機械強度を得ることができ、それに基づき良好な配向膜特性を得ることができた。
