MICROSTRUCTURES OF LIQUID CRYSTALLINE COMPOSITES BASED ON BOROSILOXANE. OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF THEIR DISPERSION LIQUID CRYSTALLINE STRUCTURE
Abstract
We report a complex study of the problem of obtaining and using borosiloxane-based liquid crystalline composites. Using an original method, we have obtained liquid crystal composites. Their microstructure is theoretically and experimentally studied. Optical properties of nematic LC domains in the isotropic phase are simulated. Materials on the basis of the investigated LC composites, as well as developed methods for determining the optical characteristics and sizes of LC domains, can have practical importance in the design of LC indicators, for example, microresonators and electro-optical sensors.
