The influence of the molecular structure of the nematic liquid crystal (NLC)on the photoalignment process at the NLC -- polymer interface has beeninvestigated experimentally. NLCs having exclusively phenyl-, or cyclohexanerings in the rigid core, as well as NLCs containing both phenyl and cyclohexanegroups have been considered. Substantial differences have been found in thephotoalignment process depending on the molecular structure of the NLC,supporting the assumption that the polymer -- NLC interface should be regardedas a coupled system, where the two components mutually influence each other. Aphenomenological explanation is given for the observed differences.
