Polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films were prepared by a devised method, in which photo‐polymerization induced phase separation in a mixtures of a macro‐iniferter, methyl acrylater, and liquid crystal. The morphology of the obtained PDLC films was examined on a polarized optical microscopy, and the effect of molecular weight of MIs on the electro‐optical properties was deliberately investigated. Decreasing the molecular weight of MIs in the films led to formation of larger liquid crystal droplets and a lower Vth values. Vsat increased and the memory effect decreased because of the increased interface anchoring strength induced by the higher molecular weight of polymer matrices. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

We report on the structures and electro‐optical properties of epoxy/acrylic polymer‐dispersed liquid‐crystal (PDLC) films. A thermal stimulated current (TSC) analysis was used to investigate the physical structures of PDLC. In the TSC spectrum of PDLC, three relaxation peaks were observed: the glass transition of the liquid crystal, the glass transition of the polymer matrix, and the ρ transition. The ρ transition represents the discharge behavior of space charges, and its intensity increased as the curing time and content of the curing agent dicyandiamide (DICY) increased. The pre‐UV‐cured films with different DICY contents were thermally cured at 130 °C for various periods. The electro‐optical properties of PDLC, such as the contrast ratio and switching voltage, increased as the curing time of DICY, the content of DICY, or both increased. As the ambient temperature increased from 10 to 40 °C, the contrast ratio and switching voltage of PDLC gradually decreased. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Dye-doped polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) is an attractive material for application in smart windows. We report a novel dye-doped PDLC system with low driving voltage (Vdr) fabricated by nucleophile-initiated thiol-ene click reaction for the first time. The Vdr decreased significantly with the addition of monofunctional monomer. The influences of reaction temperature on the electro-optical properties of PDLC are also investigated in this work. 相似文献

A polymer‐dispersed liquid‐crystal (PDLC) film was prepared from UV‐curable acrylic, thermally curable epoxy, and a liquid‐crystal (LC) mixture with a fixed LC content of 40 wt %. The UV irradiation and heat treatments were in sequential steps. At first, a phase diagram of a binary mixture of LC (E63) and epoxy [diglycidyl ether of polypropylene glycol (DER736)] was established to understand their miscibility. Then, the phase‐separation temperatures and morphologies of pre‐UV‐cured films with different equivalent DER736/dicyandiamide (DICY) molar ratios were observed. Finally, the polymerization‐induced phase‐separation behavior and morphology of the PDLC film were studied by real‐time observation while the film was maintained at 130 °C under the microscope. The results showed that the acrylic network would not affect the phase‐separation behavior of the E63/DER736 mixture. In both thermally induced and polymerization‐induced phase separations, the undissolved DICY particles acted as nucleation agents and were capable of inducing E63 to separate out early. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

ABSTRACTThe rapid development of consumer electronics and portable devices imposes a great demand for energy efficient information display systems. Among the information display devices, liquid crystal display (LCD) devices stands in the front. The fabrication of energy-efficient LCD systems demands new material and techniques. In this work, the conventional polyimide alignment layer of twisted nematic liquid crystal device (TNLCD) was replaced with ferroelectric polymer nanoparticle doped alignment layer. Morphology of the alignment layer was analysed using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The ferroelectric nature of the polymer alignment layer was studied using dynamic contact electrostatic force microscopy (DC-EFM). TNLCD cells are fabricated with this modified alignment layer and the switching characteristics are compared with the conventional TNLCD devices. The TNLCD with modified alignment layer has shown a reduction of 50% in threshold (Vthr) and 47% reduction in saturation voltage (Vsat). 相似文献

Crosslinking magnetic thermoresponsive composite (MTC) fiber mats were fabricated by electrospinning process and followed by UV curing. Thermoresponsive poly‐(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) and magnetic Fe3O4 were firstly synthesized by redox‐initiated polymerization and co‐precipitation, respectively. A crosslinking agent (dipentaerythritol hexylacrylate) and photoinitiator for providing crosslinking ability were then mixed with PNIPAAm and Fe3O4 in ethanol as the electrospinning solution. After electrospinning and subsequent UV irradiation, the MTC fiber mats were thus obtained. Thermoresponsivity of the MTC fibers was measured by both DSC and swelling test. MTC fiber mat exhibited better water‐absorption capability and thermoresponsivity than corresponding film. Morphological analysis was observed by SEM and TEM, and the magnetic property was measured by SQUID. The thermoresponsive magnetic behavior of MTC fiber mat in water was observed under various temperatures and magnetic fields. Vitamin B12 used as a model drug was loaded in the MTC fiber mats and the drug‐release behavior was then studied. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym.

A novel polymer‐dispersed liquid‐crystal film consisting of micrometer‐scale liquid‐crystal droplets in ultraviolet‐cured polymer composite matrices with cholesteric order was prepared and the influence of cure temperature on the phase separation was studied. The existence and pitch of the ethyl cyanoethyl cellulose cholesteric liquid‐crystalline phase were influenced by the existence of low molecular weight liquid crystals. The macromolecular cholesteric phase disappeared when the 4′‐n‐pentyl‐4‐cyano‐biphenyl concentration was over 40 wt %, and 4′‐n‐pentyl‐4‐cyano‐biphenyl domains were dispersed in the isotropic matrix of the polymer composite. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

To improve the morphological and electro‐optical properties of a polymer‐dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) grating, a type of highly fluorine‐substituted acrylate monomer was added to the prepolymer mixture. The morphologies of the PDLC gratings were investigated using atom force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The grating had a very clear polymer/LC interface after addition of 3.9 wt % of fluorine‐substituted monomer. The LC droplets in this case were much larger than the sample without fluorinated monomer. This phenomenon indicated that an almost complete phase separation had occurred. However, as the content of fluorine‐substituted monomer increased, the morphologies of gratings became less defined and the volumes of LC droplets were smaller. The diffraction efficiency (DE) decreased with increasing of fluoride content and the V 90 increased simultaneously, which may be ascribed to the blurry interface and the small LC droplets. The highest DE (90%) and lowest V 90 (70 V) were obtained simultaneously under the condition of 3.9 wt % fluoride added in the prepolymer. In addition, it was also found that the fluorine‐substituted monomer may disorder the alignment of LCs in the grating. 相似文献

The size distributions of liquid‐crystal droplets in ultraviolet‐cured polymer‐dispersed liquid‐crystal cells have been studied with optical microscopy. It has been observed that (1) the relative masses of the liquid crystal and crosslinking agent determine the droplet size distribution for submicrometer droplet diameters and (2) only the liquid‐crystal mass fraction affects the droplet size distribution for diameters ranging from 1 to 4 μm. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In this paper, polymer‐dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films consisting of liquid crystal (LC)/monomers/indium tin oxide (ITO) nanoparticles with good near‐infrared absorption property had been fabricated, and the influence of the ITO nanoparticles modified with 3‐methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (KH570) on the PDLC films was systematically studied. First, different liquid crystal content was studied to obtain PDLC films with good electro‐optical properties. And then, various weight ratio of ITO nanoparticles was added to samples. While the content of ITO nanoparticles was increased, the saturation voltage increased and the CR decreased. Though the electro‐optical properties of PDLC samples reduced with the addition ITO nanoparticles, the near‐infrared absorption property of films was enhanced. 相似文献

Polymer‐dispersed liquid crystals (PDLC) films were prepared from ultraviolet (UV) irradiation‐induced polymerization of the photopolymerizable monomers in photopolymerizable monomers/nematic liquid crystal (LC) mixtures. The effects of the composition of the mixtures, the curing temperature, and the UV light intensity on the microstructure of the polymer network in the PDLC films were investigated. Furthermore, the effects of the microstructures on the light scattering properties of the PDLC films in the wavelength region of 300–2500 nm were studied experimentally and theoretically based on the combination of three kinds of classical light scattering theories: the Rayleigh‐Gans (RG) approach, the anomalous diffraction (AD) approach, and the geometrical optics (GO) approach. It was found that the sizes of LC domain in PDLC films increased with the increase of the LC content as well as the decrease of the UV curing intensity, while increased at first and then decreased with the increase of the curing temperature. Moreover, smaller LC domain sizes could exhibit strong scattering properties in a smaller VIS wavelength region and the transmittance in NIR region (especially in the wavelength range of 1300–2500 nm) obviously decreased with the increasing sizes of LC domain. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Two hyperbranched prepolymers were synthesized via the reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer copolymerization of butyl acrylate or butyl methacrylate with divinyl benzene, respectively. These prepolymers were used in the photopolymerization‐induced phase separation process of preparing polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films with no risk of gelation. The morphologies of PDLC samples were investigated. Of particular interest was that the driving voltage (V90) of PDLC with high glass transition temperature (Tg) matrix was as low as 5 V, whereas the V90 of PDLC with low Tg matrix was still high. An explanation for this phenomenon is the hypothesis that different interaction modes function at the interface of liquid crystal and polymer. Meanwhile, the hysteresis of the two systems was minor, which correlated with the hyperbranched structure of polymer. The on‐state transmittance (TON) of PDLC films enhanced because of the well matching between the refractive index of polymer and that of liquid crystal. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

We synthesized two new alternating polymers, namely P(Tt‐FQx) and P(Tt‐DFQx) , incorporating electron rich tri‐thiophene and electron deficient 6‐fluoroquinoxaline or 6,7‐difluoroquinoxaline derivatives. Both polymers P(Tt‐FQx) and P(Tt‐DFQx) exhibited high thermal stabilities and the estimated 5% weight loss temperatures are 425 and 460 °C, respectively. Polymers P(Tt‐FQx) and P(Tt‐DFQx) displayed intense absorption band between 450 and 700 nm with an optical band gap (Eg) of 1.78 and 1.80 eV, respectively. The determined highest occupied/lowest unoccupied molecular orbital's (HOMO/LUMO) of P(Tt‐DFQx) (?5.48 eV/?3.68 eV) are slightly deeper than those of P(Tt‐FQx) ( ?5.32 eV/?3.54 eV). The polymer solar cells fabricated with a device structure of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/ P(Tt‐FQx) or P(Tt‐DFQx) :PC70BM (1:1.5 wt %) + 3 vol % DIO/Al offered a maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 3.65% with an open‐circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.59 V, a short‐circuit current (Jsc) of 10.65 mA/cm2 and fill factor (FF) of 59% for P(Tt‐FQx) ‐based device and a PCE of 4.36% with an Voc of 0.69 V, a Jsc of 9.92 mA/cm2, and FF of 63% for P(Tt‐DFQx) ‐based device. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Polymer-dispersed liquid crystals (PDLC) are composite materials consisting of micron-sized droplets of liquid crystal dispersed in a polymer matrix. The easiest method to obtain a PDLC film is the polymerisation-induced phase separation process (PIPS). The liquid crystal is mixed with a monomer of low molecular weight and polymerisation is induced by heat or UV light. The increasing molecular weight of the polymer causes the phase separation of liquid crystal from the polymer matrix as micron-sized droplets. In this work, we have studied the structural changes induced in the polymer matrix of a PDLC after the PIPS process by deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance. Two different selectively deuterated monomers have been synthesized and investigated: isobutyl methacrylate (IBMA-d2) and methyl methacrylate (MMA-d3). The main results were the disappearance of the characteristic two-site hop in poly-IBMA, due to liquid crystal molecules, and the lack of unreacted MMA molecules in the liquid crystal droplets. In this last case, we found that it is possible to confine temporarily the unreacted MMA molecules within liquid crystal droplets.Abbreviations MMA Methyl methacrylate - IBMA Isobutyl methacrylate - PDLC Polymer-dispersed liquid crystal - PIPS Polymerisation-induced phase separation - 2H-NMR Deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance*Dedicated to Professor V.

The conductance of polymer matrix is an important factor for the property of the polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC). The nanographites are dispersed into the polymer matrix for optimising the dielectric conductive property. The synthesised nanoparticles SiO2 was used as photonic crystal (PC) to work as a template for fabricating PDLC films. A mixture of pre-polymer and liquid crystals (LCs) was infiltrated into the void of the PC and polymerised under ultraviolet light. The void of the PC made uniform the dispersion of the liquid crystals in the films. The optical property of the PDLC films was optimised by doped nanographites and negative charge SiO2 template. The effect of negative charge SiO2 and nanographites on the threshold voltage and driving voltage was researched. The morphology of the PDLC films was studied by the FTIR image. The dispersed LCs droplets were uniformly affected by the addition of the nanographites. The LCs droplets dispersed in the polymer were located in the void of the SiO2 photonic crystal. 相似文献

In this work, the thiol‐ene click reaction is employed to fabricate polymer‐dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films by photoinitiated polymerization. The PDLC films are prepared by systematic variation of key conditions: variety and content of ‐ene monomer, liquid crystal (LC) content, curing time, and curing light intensity. We find that both the morphologies and electro‐optic properties of these films are adjustable. When increasing the length of alkyl main chain of ‐ene monomers, the driving voltages reduce, but in turn, the contrast ratio decreases. Increasing ‐ene monomer content raises the driving voltages as well as the response time, and the increase of LC content lowers the driving voltages but has a negative effect on the contrast ratio. The changes to the curing conditions (both curing time and UV light intensity) can be used to modify the driving voltages, response time, and contrast ratios of PDLC films. These comparative studies will elucidate new insights in commercial applications of intelligent PDLC films. 相似文献

ABSTRACTThe structures of the liquid crystal (LC) molecules have a key role in impacting the electro-optical performance of a polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) film. In this paper, the relationship between the LC molecular structures and the electro-optical properties of PDLC films is investigated based on an unexplored cyano-terminated tolane compounds (CTTCs) doped E8 LCs/UV polymers system. Due to the high polarity of CTTCs, LCs doped with the cyano-terminated tolane (CTT) molecules exhibit high birefringence and large positive dielectric anisotropy. On the whole, PDLC films doped with the CTT molecules exhibit a lower driving voltage than that doped with the pure E8. More excitingly, PDLC films based on CTT molecules with larger length-to-width ratio and longer conjugated system show higher contrast ratio (CR) and faster response time. Eventually, the mechanism of the effects of CTT-based molecular structures and the relationship between the electro-optical performance of PDLC films and CTT molecules are illustrated. This work paves a new way for optimising the electro-optical properties of PDLC films. 相似文献

Three series of semiflexible and rigid main‐chain polyesters containing photoreactive mesogenic units derived from p‐phenylenediacrylic acid (PDA) and cinnamic acid have been synthesized by high‐temperature polycondensation. The thermal and mesomorphic properties of the polymers have been determined. The photochemical behavior of polymer P‐[1]‐T, which contains a PDA unit, has been studied both in solution and in films. In solution, [2+2] photocycloaddition, E/Z photoisomerization, and photo‐Fries rearrangement can take place. In contrast, the dominant process in spin‐coated films is the [2+2] photocycloaddition reaction, which causes crosslinking of the polymer. In films, the photochemistry and induction of anisotropy are strongly influenced by the aggregation of the PDA phenylester unit. A dichroism of about 0.2 has been induced in films by irradiation with linearly polarized UV light, and thus the capability of these films to induce optical anisotropy and align liquid crystals has been demonstrated. Liquid‐crystalline cells have been made with polarized irradiated films of P‐[1]‐T as aligning layers. A commercial liquid‐crystalline mixture has been used for this study, and a similar liquid‐crystalline order determined by polarized Fourier transform infrared to a commercial cell with rubbed polyimide as an aligning layer has been detected. Because of crosslinking of the irradiated P‐[1]‐T photoaligning layer, the photoinduced anisotropy is stable at high temperatures, and the liquid‐crystalline molecules are insoluble in the irradiated polymer. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A series of 1,1′‐ferrocene‐containing polyelectrolytes ( 3, 4 ) were prepared when 1,1′‐bis(N,N‐dimethylaminomethyl)ferrocene ( 1a ) or 1, 1′‐bis{[1‐(2‐methyl)imidazol‐1‐yl]methyl}ferrocene ( 1b ) was quaternized with 1,4‐dibromobutane or α, α′‐dibromo‐p‐xylene. The counterion was bromide or bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)‐amide formed after metathesis with the lithium salt. Their chemical structures were determined by IR and NMR spectra. Molecular weights in the range of ~5400 ( 4a )– ~14,700 ( 4c ) for number‐average molecular weights (Mn) over narrow molecular weight distributions were determined for polymers 4 by gel permeation chromatography. Thermal properties of these materials were obtained by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis that showed the polymers had thermal stabilities ranging between 172 and 330 °C. Liquid‐crystalline behavior was investigated on a hot stage polarizing optical microscope. Polymers 3a , 4b , and 4d formed either a high‐order or a low‐order smectic phase above their melting or fusion temperatures, and exhibited smectic‐to‐isotropic transitions. The ranges of the liquid‐crystalline phases for these materials were 22, 46, and >55 °C. Compounds 3b , 4a , and 4c are crystalline before melting or decomposing. All of the polymers exhibited absorption bands at ~430 nm. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 43: 974–983, 2005 相似文献

Polymer‐stabilized cholesteric liquid crystal (PSCLC) films with broadband reflection based on two‐step photopolymerization are fabricated. Owing to the helical twisting power (HTP) value of the chiral dopant (CD) decreasing with increasing temperature, PSCLC films with broadband reflection are obtained by two‐step polymerization anchoring helical pitch of different length at two different temperature points. The effect of monomer composition on the PSCLC reflection properties before and after polymerization was studied. The results show that the free‐radical monomers with appropriate concentration and cationic monomers with sufficient concentration are vital for the formation of PSCLC films with broadband reflection. In addition, the experiments show that the increase in the functionality and rigidity of the cationic monomer has a positive effect on the broadening of the reflection band. This study can provide guidance and reference for the selection of monomer species and concentration in PSCLC preparation. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part B: Polym.
