Abstract: | Monomers with reactive double bonds were mixed with liquid crystals and polymerized under UV irradiation. The polymer networks formed are anisotropic and consist of fibrils. The orientation of the polymer networks depend on the orientation of the liquid crystals during polymerization. Optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to study the polymer networks. |
