Abstract
Polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films were prepared using elec tron beam radiation by a polymerization-induced phase separation proce ss. The composite material was obtained from a blend including a polye ster acrylate and the nematic liquid crystal mixture E7. The electro-o ptic properties of the PDLC films were investigated as a function of f ilm thickness. The obtained transmission vs. voltage curves exhibit a good reproducibility, low threshold voltages, and a high transmission in the on state. (C) 1995 John Wiley and Sons, Inc.
