Abstract
With the switchability between transparent and light-scattering states, polymer-dispersed liquid crystals (PDLC) are widely used as smart windows, flexible display devices, projectors, and other devices. In outdoor applications, in addition to excellent electro-optical properties, there is also a high demand for film stability. In this work, a PDLC film with high mechanical strength and structural stability is prepared that can maintain stability at 80 °C for 2000 h. By choosing liquid crystals with a wide temperature range, adopting acrylate polymer monomers containing hydroxyl groups, and adjusting the polymer content, the PDLC film can work well from -20 °C to 80 °C. On this basis, the effects of the introduction of rigid monomers on the mechanical properties and electro-optical properties of PDLC films are investigated.
