We prepared polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) composite films using polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and the ferroelectric liquid crystal (LC) Felix 015/000 (Hoechst) by the solvent-induced phase separation method. We studied the phase transitions by the thermally stimulated depolarization currents (TSDC) method and by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), for the composite film and the corresponding liquid crystal. Polarized microscopy was also used to characterize the phase transitions. When the LC is mixed with the PMMA, its characteristic transition temperatures are shifted down a few degrees and the current peaks revealed by the TSDC method are broadened due to the dispersion of microdroplets and the consequential presence of a large interface between the LC and the polymer matrix.
