Liquid crystalline epoxy resins can be used as a matrix to encapsulate
low molecular weight liquid crystalline droplets to produce PDLC devi
ces. The presence of the low mass liquid crystal decreases the rate of
reaction of the resin, that also hardens in a mesomorphic structure f
or high concentrations of liquid crystal. The optical characterization
of the PDLC indicates an improvement of the angular transmission of v
isible light.
