Abstract
A white reflecting polymer-stabilized cholesteric textured liquid-crys tal cell was created by incorporation of chiral methacrylate polymer n etwork. The position and stereochemical configuration of the chiral ce nters plays an integral role in the observed reflection spectra, Chira l polymer networks with chiral centers separated from the polymer back bone and that unwind the cholesteric helix pitch produce the broadest reflection band in these LC mixtures.
