Abstract:

A novel liquid crystal monomer 1, 4-Di-[4-(3-acryloyloxyhexyloxy) benzoyloxy]-2-methyl benzene (LCM) was synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized optical microscopy (POM). LCM possesses liquid crystal phase between 68 to 124 °C. A f-ast response polymer stabilized cholesteric texture (PSCT) film was prepared based on LCM, and t-he response time was less than 1 ms, which can be applied in true 3D display. In addition, the morp-hology of the polymer network was investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM).
