Polymerization Induced Phase Separation

Polymer dispersed liquid crystal film was prepared by the method of polymerization induced phase separation. The optical morphologies of the PDLC film were characterized by polarized optical microscope with a hot stage. Our results demonstrated that the morphology of the PDLC film depended on temperature of PDLC system.

Photo Curing

By using a proper polymer network and an ion-doped cholesteric liquid crystal with negative dielectric anisotropy, bistable polymer-dispersed liquid crystal thin films were prepared by first photo-curing, and then thermally curing.
