Abstract
Monomers with reactive double bonds were mixed with Liquid crystals an d polymerized under UV irradiation. The polymer networks formed are an isotropic and consist of fibrils. The orientation of the polymer netwo rks depend on the orientation of the liquid crystals during polymeriza tion. Optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to stud y the polymer networks.
