Structured Polymer/Liquid Crystal for Switchable Diffractive and Micro Optics
Polymer dispersed liquid crystals are generally described as a system with an isotropic liquid crystal (LC) droplet distribution in a polymer matrix. Using masked ultraviolet light and/or applied electric field a structured polymer/LC phase separation can be achieved. One technological advantage is the potential for integrated polymer/LC devices. This approach can be used to manufacture miniatu...
متن کاملThermally and electrically switchable gratings based on polymer-ball-type polymer-dispersed liquid-crystal films.
We focus on the fabrication and study of controllable holographic gratings based on azo-dye-doped and undoped polymer-ball-type polymer-dispersed liquid-crystal films. Experimental results indicate that the next step of photopolymerization of the sample with the illumination of Ar+ laser beams after UV curing causes a latent density grating to be recorded. This grating is formed by a selective ...
متن کاملY-Shaped Polymer Brushes: Nanoscale Switchable Surfaces
We report a first observation of nanoscale surface structures of segregated pinned micelles of grafted Y-shaped molecules and their reversible structural reorganization. We designed a novel type of Y-shaped molecules combining two highly incompatible polymer chains (arms) attached to a single focal point capable of chemical grafting to a functionalized silicon surface. We demonstrated that spat...
متن کاملLight controlled friction at a liquid crystal polymer coating with switchable patterning.
We describe a new methodology that enables dynamical control of motion through modulating the friction at coating surfaces by exposing to UV light. The principle is based on reversible switching of the surface topographies of the coating by light. The coating surface transfers from flat in the dark to corrugated in the presence of UV by forming regular ridge-like line gratings. Both the static ...
متن کاملElectrically switchable, photoaddressable cholesteric liquid crystal reflectors.
We report on the development of photoaddressable cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) mixtures capable of large range color tuning as well as direct on-off electrical switching. The continuously photoaddressable CLC mixtures are based on a high HTP azo-containing chiral material mixed with an off-the-shelf nematic liquid crystal (QL9/E44). By polymer stabilizing the QL9/E44 mixture, it is demonstra...
