The Effect of CB15 on Cholesteric Liquid Crystal’s Thermal-Optical Properties

Article Preview

Abstract:

A kind of Cholesteric Liquid Crystal was prepared by mixing CB15 with Nematic Liquid Crystal 1717. The influence of CB15 content on the CLC texture, pitch length and thermal optical properties were investigated. The results indicated that the CB15 content affected significantly the CLC texture and the content in the region of 8.0-12.0 wt% were optimal condition for realizing the thermally erase in which texture could be easily changed from scatting focal conic texture to transparent planar one.
