Abstract
Polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films is a composite having low molecular weight liquid crystal microdroplets dispersed in a polymer matrix. Due to its attractive electro-optical characteristic, it has potential applications in switchable glass, optical and display industry. Photopolymerization-induced phase separation (PIPS) process is a preferred and versatile method to make PDLC film due to its simple manufacturing process and reliable electro-optical performances.
PIPS process is the core in PDLC technology. It is a critical factor to form a morphology of PDLC film, by which the electro-optical performances are determined. In order to achieve the optimized electro-optical performances of a PDLC film, it is essential to understand the underlying mechanisms on PIPS process.
The aim of this research is to provide fundamental knowledge on PIPS process and technical issues for enhancement of PDLC performances, which were implemented by four consecutive approaches as followings:
(1) Experimental technique to monitor PIPS process
(2) Structural factors in liquid crystal materials to PIPS process
(3) Structural factors in polymer components to PIPS process
(4) Correlation among chemical nature of liquid crystal and prepolymer components, PIPS process, morphology and electro-optical properties of PDLC films
(5) Construction of driving electrodes using conducting polymer thin films for improved flexibility.
