Light scattering electrooptic behavior of liquid-crystalline physicail gels - Effects of microphase-separated morphologies
Light scattering electrooptic behavior has been examined for liquid-crystalline physical gels consisting of a room temperature nematic liquid crystal and ami,no acid gelators. Electrooptic properties of the gels depend on the morphologies of the hydrogen-bonded aggregates. We show that liquid-crystalline gets comprising of randomly dispersed networks have potentials for light scattering electrooptic materials.
