For the automatic construction of macroscopic surface alignment layer for liquid crystal (LC) molecules, an asymmetric nanosurfactant (C60BP) containing of mesogenic cyanobiphenyl groups tethered to a fullerene was newly designed and synthesized via the Bingel reaction. The C60BP directly introduced in the anisotropic LC medium was self-assembled into the monolayered protrusions on the surface due to its amphiphilic nature from asymmetrically programmed structural motif of LC-favoring and LC-repelling groups. The automatically constructed C60BP alignment layer can be applied in electrically controllable modulator.
