Experiments on computer simulation of the behavior of polar nematic phenylpropargyl ethers of
parachlorophyllens on the surface of graphene nanoribbon made it possible to reveal a number of regularities.
The dynamics of molecules is studied when the dimensions of graphene change under the action of an electric
field and temperature. As a research method, the method of molecular dynamics was used in the approximation of
a liquid state of aggregation. The simulation was carried out in the atomistic approach. It was shown that the
graphene nanoribbon and electric filed defines the self-assembly of the nematic liquid crystals molecules in the
biaxial state. These states appear at the variation of the graphene nanoribbon ratio of width to length. It was
found that in the clearing area the ordering of the parachlorophyllens starts to grow when the value of the ratio of
width to length is 3: 1.
