The fabrication and properties of polymer network–stabilized liquid crystals, formed by
polymerization of a small amount of a bifunctional photoreactive monomer dissolved in a …

Polymer stabilised liquid crystals describe systems in which a polymer network is formed
within an anisotropic liquid crystal matrix. During the polymerisation process a bi-continuous …

We develop the technique of fluorescence confocal polarizing microscopy to image three-
dimensional patterns of orientational order. The method employs the property of anisometric …

CdSe hollow spherical assemblies composed of 5 nm nanoparticles have been synthesized
sonochemically. During the process, amorphous Cd (OH) 2, which acts as the in‐situ …

We study phase separation from a nematic liquid crystal with spatially nonuniform director
gradients. Particles of a phase-separated component, which is either an isotropic fluid …

Quantum dots (QDs) have been used to make backlight, which provides a superior color
gamut, for liquid crystal flat panel displays. In the backlight system, quantum dots, embedded …

We have constructed polymer-stabilized nematic liquid crystals by photopolymerizing
diacrylate monomers in the nematic phase. The orientation of the liquid crystal was …

We developed a phenomenological theory to describe the aligning field of polymer networks
in polymer stabilized liquid crystals where sub-micron size polymer networks are phase …

The effect of UV curing intensity and curing time on the electro-optic behaviour and network
morphology of reverse mode polymer stabilized cholesteric textures (PSCTs) has been …

The polymer stabilized state of ferroelectric liquid crystals (FLC) is reviewed; and the effect of
a dispersed polymer network in an FLC outlined and discussed. All fundamental material …
