Coupling of the electrical, mechanical and optical response in polymer/liquid-crystal composites
… In this work, polymer-dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs) are prepared from poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) and a nematic liquid crystal (LC). The anchoring effect is studied by means of dielectric relaxation spectroscopy. Two dispersion regions are observed in the …

Polarization-independent Liquid Crystal Devices
… a new polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) and two new dye-doped LC gels are polarizer-free by combining light scattering with dye-absorption effects. In phase modulation, we explore five device concepts: PDLC and Polymer-Stabilized Cholesteric Texture (PSCT), homeotropic LC gels, thin …

Tunable Liquid Crystal Photonic Devices
… inhomogeneous polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC), polymer network liquid crystals (PNLC) and phase-separated composite film (PSCOF). Liquid crystal/polymer composites could exist in different forms depending on the fabrication conditions. In Chap. 3, we demonstrate a novel nanoscale PDLC …

Synthesis, Characterization, Membrane Fabrication and Gas Transport Behavior of Liquid Crystal Polymer Materials
… has focused on polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC), linear butadiene diol based side chain liquid crystalline polymer (LCP), and linear and crosslinked acrylate based LCP membranes. The focus was primarily on the separation of propylene and propane, a separation of significant industrial …

Three-dimensional polarization probing in polymer ferroelectrics, polymer-dispersed liquid crystals, and polymer ferroelectrets
… in polymer-dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs) films, which are used in electro-optical applications. The results indicated a possible electrostatic interaction between the COH group in the liquid crystals and the fluorinate atoms of the used ferroelectric matrix. The geometrical …
