摘要：

Gliding of the nematic liquid crystal director on polymethyl-methacrilate layers in a magnetic field is observed. It is found that the kinetics of the gliding process are strongly influenced by the molecular weight of the polymer chains. This fact supports the model of gliding based on the mutual orienting effect of the liquid crystal and polymer network.
