Photorefractive properties in homogeneous and heterogeneous polymer / liquid crystal composites ∗
The photorefractivity of a photorefractive composite consisting of poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) doped with a non-room-temperature liquid crystal, 4-butyloxy4’-cyanobiphenyl (4OCB), and C60 was studied by means of measuring the two-beam coupling coefficients. The results show that the photorefractivity is enhanced by phase separation. PACS: 42.65; 61.30; 61.40 Interest in materials that exhibit ...
متن کاملNeutron optical beam splitter from holographically structured nanoparticle-polymer composites.
We report a breakthrough in the search for versatile diffractive elements for cold neutrons. Nanoparticles are spatially arranged by holographical means in a photopolymer. These grating structures show remarkably efficient diffraction of cold neutrons up to about 50% for effective thicknesses of only 200 μm. They open up a profound perspective for next generation neutron-optical devices with ...
متن کاملStructured 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 کاملPlasmonic Nanoparticles-Liquid Crystal Composites†
We report on the plasmonic properties of 6 nm gold nanoparticles that form highly stable solutions in the nematic liquid crystal 4-cyano-4-n-pentylbiphenyl (5CB). The nanoparticles were covalently functionalized with 4-sulfanylphenyl-4-[4-(octyloxy)phenyl]benzoate, which resembles the structure of the 5CB molecules. The solubility of these nanoparticles in 5CB was significantly higher than that...
متن کاملEffect of polymer structures on electro-optical properties of polymer stabilized liquid crystal films
The polymer stabilized liquid crystal (PSLC) film is a relatively novel electro-optical material, which is generally obtained by dissolving a small amount of a bifunctional photoreactive monomer in a low molecular mass liquid crystal. In this paper, the PSLC films were prepared with photoreactive biphenyl methacrylate monomers by photopolymerization induced phase separation. The effects of liqu...
