Liquid crystals enjoy a wide range of technological applications, perhaps the best-known being the lcd, or liquid crystal display. when combined with polymeric materials the resulting solutions have a range of physical properties not present in either material alone and this coupling imparts useful properties such as novel electro-optic switching combined with easy processability.
See offerWhile much fundamental research is still performed with pure liquid crystals,industrial applications employ mostly mixtures,composites,or specially doped liquid crystals with tailor-made physical and optical properties.current progress and large scale application of liquid crystals in optical technology are largely the result of tremendous advances in such new material development efforts.
See offerThermally induced phase separation of liquid crystal and pre-polymer mixtures were studied using liquid crystal k15 and k21, two of the four components of commercially available liquid crystal e7 and a thiol-ene pre-polymer, uv1. the main purpose of this study was to construct quasi-equilibrium phase diagrams of k15/uv1 and k21/uv1.
See offerThe objective of this research was to prepare pdlcs systems with improved liquid crystal/polymer composition for thermo- and electro-optical performance. two thermosetting matrices based on an unsaturated polyester resin and a bifunctional epoxy resin, respectively, are employed to realise pdlcs.
See offerLiquid crystal (lc) devices are possible because of their large optical birefringence and dielectric anisotropy. their ubiquitous presence has become a part of modern life.
