Abstract
1 min readThe flexoelectro-optical behavior of layers formed by a liqu id crystal (LC)-polymer phase-separated composite was investigated by flexoelec- tric spectroscopy. The composite layers with a thickness of 6 µm contain micrometer-sized droplets of LC E7 dispersed in a transparent polymer ma- trix. The layers were prepared between glass substrates with Teflon nanolayers initially deposited. Thus, LC-polymer composite layers with well ordered and aligned droplet morphology were obtained. The dispersed LC droplets were spherical in shape, with a mean size of about 14 µm. The flexoelectric response of LC droplets in this structure was studied as depending on both temperature and applied voltage.
