Journal ArticleDOI
Observation of blue phases in chiral networks
TL;DR: In this article, the first observation of cholesteric blue phases in chiral anisotropic polymer networks was reported, in which two-component mixtures of a chiral and a non-chiral diacrylate were photopolymerized at constant temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymer-dispersed liquid crystals From the nematic curvilinear aligned phase to ferroelectric films
TL;DR: A review of the work on nematic and cholesteric PDLCs can be found in this article, where the use of ferroelectric liquid crystals for PDLC applications is also discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of electric fields on blue phases
TL;DR: An experimental review on electric field effects in blue phases is presented in this article, where electric fields have a profound effect on these phases which appear in chiral liquid crystals, in addition to producing elec-trostrictive effects on blue phase lattices, they also cause new field induced phases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linear electro‐optic effects in polymer‐dispersed ferroelectric liquid crystals
TL;DR: In this paper, the alignment of the liquid crystal can be controlled by mechanical shear during the polymerization-induced phase separation between liquid crystal and the UV-curable adhesive which forms the polymer matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanocomposites of a nematic liquid crystal doped with magic-sized CdSe quantum dots
TL;DR: In this article, optical, alignment and electro-optic properties of a nematic liquid crystal affected by the presence of semiconductor CdSe magic-sized nanocrystals (MSNCs) were reported.
