Polymer-stabilized cholesteric texture (PSCT) samples were prepared by means of polymerization induced phase separation. The electric property of PSCT can be improved by adjusting curing time
which results in the control of the elastic force between polymer networks and liquid crystal molecules. It was indicated that extending the polymerization time can improve the degree of polymerization of monomer
thereby enhancing the anchoring force of polymer networks
whereas has little influence on the morphology of polymer networks. In a normal-mode PSCT
polymer networks are arranged perpendicular to the base plate
which is conducive to the formation of a nematic phase induced by a electric field. With enhancing anchoring effect
low threshold (saturated) voltage
high closed transmittance
low contrast ratio
slow response
and big hysteresis width can be observed.
