• This technique has been studied by many researchers for the practical application to the rubbing-free liquid crystal alignment layers, which are inevitable materials in the fabrication of liquid crystal display devices.
• In this work, we have found that the cinnamate side groups could be also reacted by thermal energy, and this reaction is presumed to attribute to the radical reaction of carbon double bond in the cinnamate groups.
• We studied the effect of the chain flexibility of polymer backbone on the reaction behavior of cinnamate side groups induced by UV irradiation and heating.

photochemical and thermal reaction
The photocycloaddition and thermal crosslinking reactions were supposed to be based on two different reaction mechanisms, pericyclic reaction and radical reaction.

The glass transition temperature of the coumarin polymer was about 109 ℃ and this is much lower than the heating temperature 200 ℃.
Due to the strong electron delocalization of coumarin groups, the radical reaction of carbon double bond becomes more difficult and thus the thermal crosslinking of coumarin polymer was not observed.

ConclusionsConclusionsThe photocycloaddition is based on the [2+2] cycloaddition reaction mechanism and the thermal crosslinking is supposed to be based on the radical reaction mechanism.
Due to the radical mechanism of thermal crosslinking reaction of the cinnamate side groups, the flexibility of polymer has the considerable effect on the thermal crosslinking of cinnamate polymers.
The difference between the photocycloaddition and thermal crosslinking of the cinnamate side groups was confirmed by the 1H NMR and 13C NMR analysis of the photochemical and thermal reaction of model compound.
The possibility of the radical reaction of photodimerizable molecule was also closely related to the electron delocalization state of carbon double bond.
