Effects of Crosslinking Agents on Electro-optical Performances of PDLC Films
The morphology of polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) has a major impact on its electro-optic properties. The PDLC was prepared by photochemical polymerization from UV-curable monomers/crosslinking agent/initiator/LC mixture. The influences of the chain length of crosslinking agents on the PDLC system have been studied. The microstructures of the PDLC were strongly influenced by the insertion of polyethylene glycol (1000) diacrylate (PEGDA 1000) crosslinker
relatively long and flexible branch
and 1
4-butanedioldiacrylate (BDDA) crosslinker along the network bone. The chain length of crosslinking agents have a significant effect on the LC domain size
and then influences the electro-optic properties of PDLC.
