Enhanced Solar Cell Conversion Efficiency Using Birefringent Liquid Crystal Polymer Homeotropic Films from Reactive Mesogens
Novel birefringent liquid crystal polymer homeotropic films have been coated on semiconductor solar cells to improve the effective incident sunlight angles. The liquid crystal polymer precursor, based on reactive mesogens, is fluidic and flows like liquid. It would distribute uniformly on the solar cell sample surface by any traditional coating technique. The birefringence for light, due to the...

متن کاملThermotropic Liquid Crystalline Behavior of an Amphiphilic Polymer Lacking Mesogens
The thermotropic liquid crystalline behavior of a new kind of amphiphilic polymer without mesogens is reported. The existence and structure for the polymeric mesophase are confirmed and characterized by DSC, X-ray diffraction, optical polarized microscopy, and temperature-dependent FTIR. Due to strong interactions between pendent long alkyl chains, we conclude that some hydrophobic semirigid ro...
متن کاملNew Syntheses.the Liquid Crystal Properties of Some New Mesogens
The 4'-n-alkyl-4-cyanobiphenyls and 4'-n-alkoxy-4-cyanobiphenyls provide colourless liquid crystal phases which are chemically and photochemically stable. In many cases, the mesophases are produced at quite low temperatures, and indeed two members of the n-alkyl series are nematic at room temperature. Eutectic mixtures prepared from members of the two series give wide nematic ranges, e. g., fro...
متن کاملLiquid-crystal microlens arrays using patterned polymer networks.
A real-time dynamically tunable-focus microlens array made from a polymer-liquid-crystal (LC) composite is demonstrated. The polymer was first patterned in microlens array cavities by lamination, and the LC-monomer mixture was then injected to the molded polymer cavities and finally stabilized by UV light-induced networks. Using this new fabrication method, we demonstrated a lens with a spheric...
