Abstract

A new class of mixts. of liq. crystal materials and polymers is presented consisting of sub-micrometer sized, internally crosslinked polymeric particles dispersed in a continuous LC phase, which is referred to as polymer-filled nematics (PFNs) to distinguish them from LC mixts. contg. inorg. particles. Initial electrooptical expts. indicate that the light-scattering properties of these blends can be controlled with the application of an elec. field and that hysteresis effects are present.
