Membrane Structure and Permeation Property of Polymer/Liquid Crystal Composite
Tisato Kajiyama Faculty of Engineering, Kyushu University, Fligashi-ku, Fukuoka 812 A bimolecular membrane of phospholipids such as lecithin is in a state of liquid crystal capable of reversible structural modifications and its permeation property depends on such reversible change. Artificial amphiphiles with monoalkyl and dialkyl groups form multilamellar liposome composed of the bimolecular l...
متن کاملElectrically tunable wettability of liquid crystal/polymer composite films.
An electrically tunable wettability in a liquid crystal/ polymer composite film is demonstrated, in which liquid crystal molecules are anchored among polymer grains. The tunable wettability of the composite films originates from the reorientation of the anchored liquid-crystal molecules, which is switched by an in-plane electric field with squared pulses of voltages. These liquid crystal/polyme...
متن کاملElectrohydrodynamics-Induced Abnormal Electro-Optic Characteristics in a Polymer-Dispersed Liquid Crystal Film
This study demonstrates for the first time abnormal electro-optic (EO) characteristics induced by electrohydrodynamics (EHD) in a polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) film in the presence of a low-frequency (1 kHz) AC voltage. Large LC droplets (20−40 μm) buried in the film can be obtained after the illumination of one UV light with a weak intensity (~0.96 mW/cm2) for 12 h. This film exhibit...
متن کاملDirect measurement of electric-field-induced birefringence in a polymer-stabilized blue-phase liquid crystal composite.
We demonstrate a method to directly measure the electric-field-induced birefringence of a polymer-stabilized blue-phase liquid crystal (PS-BPLC) composite. The induced birefringence follows the extended Kerr effect well and is approximately 3X the ordinary refractive index change. The measured data are validated by comparing the simulated and measured voltage-dependent transmittance with an in-...
متن کاملExtended Kerr effect in a polymer-stabilized blue-phase liquid crystal composite
Abstract As the electric field increases, the induced birefringence of a polymer-stabilized blue-phase liquid crystal gradually deviates from the conventional Kerr effect and finally saturates. A new convergence model, named extended Kerr effect, is proposed to explain this saturation phenomenon. This model will give a more accurate account on the electro-optic effect of the emerging bluephase ...
