The photoalignment provides LCBC materials with large-scale ordered nanostructures without using any devices or instruments. Due to its convenience, this
method has been widely used in various fields, especially in nanotemplates and
optical storage. Seki et al. demonstrated a rewritable 3D photoalignment process in
Fig. 11 Different photoresponsive behaviors of LCBCs when their LC block form different phase
upon microphase separation
