Then the polymer network formed by the optically active polymerizable monomers imposed additional constraints on the motion of chain segments of the glassy liquid crystal and then further stabilized the molecule arrangement. A cholesteric liquid crystal film with stable optical properties was developed by this method.展开更多

文摘The planar texture of glassy cholesteric siloxane cyclic side-chain liquid crystals was fixed by quenching initially. Then the polymer network formed by the optically active polymerizable monomers imposed additional constraints on the motion of chain segments of the glassy liquid crystal and then further stabilized the molecule arrangement. A cholesteric liquid crystal film with stable optical properties was developed by this method.
