In samples of polymer-dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs), submicron droplets of liquid crystal reside within a polymer matrix. By the use of the cross polarization technique for solid-state 13C NMR spectroscopy, the NMR spectrum of the liquid crystal can be obtained without interference from the polymer spectrum, even though the two materials have some similar chemical structures. Both 13C T1 and 13C T1 ρ relaxation experiments were performed on a PDLC system of 5CB in epoxy as a function of 5CB domain size. The 13C T1 relaxation constants and the localized motions they measure showed no significant change over the liquid crystal domain size studied. However, the 13C T1 ρ relaxation constants and the segmental motions of molecules they measure revealed a significant change over the liquid crystal domain size studied. Therefore, the 13C T1 ρ values can be used to determine the change in mobility of the molecular segments of the SCB molecules resulting from increased interaction between the liquid crystal and the polymer matrix and to further understand the importance of the molecular motions of the liquid crystal in the switching phenomenon for PDLC materials.
