The polymer stabilized liquid crystals (PSLC) films was prepared subsequently based on the mesogenic diacrylate monomer 4,4’-bis[6-(acryloyloxy)-hexyloxy]biphenyl (BAB6). The effects of BAB6 on the morphology of polymer network as well as the electro-optical properties of the PSLC films were investigated. The helical structure of liquid crystals was observed in the morphology of polymer network by SEM. Further, a single switching process was observed at lower monomer concentration in this study compared with the former publication. When BAB6 concentration reached 7 %, the response time and contrast ratio of PSLC film were 7 ms and 16.8, respectively.

The effects of the fluorinated monomer with an ethynyl group on the electro-optical properties of polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystals (PSBPLCs) were investigated in different polymer systems. In rigid polymer systems, the Kerr constant can be increased by about 27.6%, while keeping a microsecond response time. In soft polymer systems, hysteresis decreased by about 45.5% and residual birefringence can be reduced from 1.85% to 0.6%. The above phenomena exhibited dual functions of affecting the anchoring energy and the viscosity of the system simultaneously. The results provide a potential value for the ethynyl-containing monomers in PSBPLC systems.

Polymer Stabilized

Cholesteric liquid crystal (Ch-LC) exhibits many remarkable optical properties due to formation of a macroscopic helical structure. A low amount of monomer (5wt.%) is dispersed into cholesteric liquid crystal and get polymerized under UV radiations to form polymer stabilized cholesteric texture (PSCT). The thermo-chromic response made this device suitable for the developing applications in thermal imaging. Temperature based measurements of PSCT exploits the key property of some polymer stabilized cholesteric liquid crystals (PSCLC) to reflect definite colors at specific temperatures. The selective color of PSCT texture shifts with raise in temperature from 30oC to 85oC, which can be utilized in thermal imaging applications.
