Effect of Photocuring Condition on Polymer-Stabilized Ferroelectric Liquid Crystals

Abstract

Dynamic behavior of liquid crystal molecules can be researched in terms of the elliptic polarized light measured with a time-resolved ellipsometry. In this study, the dynamic molecular motion of polymer-stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal under the application of AC electric field has been investigated by using the ellipsometry, and then the effect of polymer stabilization onto the dynamics of ferroelectric liquid crystal is mentioned.
