Effect of different curing conditions on the electro-optical properties of directional polymerisation monomer based polymer\liquid crystal composites.

Polymer\liquid crystal composites have garnered significant attention as a material due to their facile preparation and pronounced light modulation effect. With the increasing range of applications, effectively modulating the relevant electro-optical parameters has emerged as a major challenge. In this study, two specific monomers were chosen to investigate the impact of curing conditions on the electro-optical parameters. Compared to previous research, the findings presented here offer a much simpler approach for regulating the parameters. This work not only provides insights for future advancements in polymer\liquid crystal composites with novel functionalities and morphologies but also serves a valuable reference for related industrial production.
