XU Qi, ZHOU Zong-ming, ZHANG Yu-liang, WANG Ying-han. Effect of Main-Chain Flexibility of Macro-Initiator on Electro-Optical Properties of Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal[J]. , 2013,28(4): 484-489
Polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films were prepared with living graft macro-initiator (MI) with different main-chain flexibility
synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) and iniferter polymerization with four kinds of monomers with different glass transition temperature. The effect of main-chain flexibility of MIs on morphologies
transmittance
switching voltage and hysteresis of PDLC films based on graft polymer had been investigated. It was observed that the OFF-state transmittance (
T
OFF
) and the size of LC droplet decreased at first and then increased with the increase in main-chain flexibility of MIs
and both showed the lowest value when MI was RAFT-P(BMA-co-CMSI). However
V
th
and
V
sat
showed an opposite trend. It was found that the
V
th
value first increased from 8.0 V to 17.7 V and then decreased to 7.3 V
while the
V
sat
value first increased from 25.6 V to 32.9 V and then decreased to 20.2 V. In addition
the hyste-resis showed complex changes
due to a variety of factors. Therefore
the change of main-chain flexibility of MIs successfully improved the electro-optical properties of PDLC films based on graft polymer.
