We controlled the optical anisotropy of a solution-cast film composed of cellulose triacetate (CIA) by adding ferrocene. Owing to the molecular orientation in the film plane of solution-cast films, which results from the normal stress applied during the solvent evaporation process, the average refractive index is usually higher in the plane of the film than in the thickness direction. We found that the addition of ferrocene, which is miscible with CTA, reduced the optical anisotropy by nematic interaction; i.e., ferrocene molecules are forcibly embedded into the film plane accompanying the CTA chains. Because the direction of anisotropic polarizability of ferrocene is perpendicular to the long axis of the molecule, the refractive index in the thickness direction is reduced. Furthermore, the stress-optical coefficient in the glassy state is reduced by the addition of ferrocene. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
