Abstract

A thin film of a new liquid crystalline azobenzene-titania precursor hybrid shows sensitive phototactic motions to form a relief structure. This topologically patterned film can be directly converted to a micropatterned anatase-type crystalline TiO2 film by photodecomposition and pyrolysis.
