Abstract
Liquid crystal micro-composites based on ferroelectric liquid crystal and a chiral photocrosslinkable liquid crystal polymer are studied. Th eir ferroelectric properties are closely connected to their polymeriza tion process. The effect of the UV curing conditions on the ferroelect ric behavior is discussed. Low UV intensity applied for a long time tr eatment leads to a polymer network that introduces little variations o n the pure FLC behaviors.
