Abstract
Telomers of the structure ##STR1## are disclosed, where R is --CH.sub.3 or H; R' is a C.sub.5 to C.sub.18 alkyl or fluoroalkyl group; n is an integer between 2 and 6 inclusive; and x is an integer between 3 and 26 inclusive. These telomers are surface active and are useful as aids for coating applications.

A method of making a liquid crystal light valve, comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing an emulsion comprising plural discrete volumes of a liquid crystal material encapsulated in a matrix material carried in an aqueous carrier medium, the emulsion further comprising a telomer of the structure ##STR10## where R is --CH.sub.3 or H;
- R' is a C.sub.5 to C.sub.18 alkyl or fluoroalkyl group;
- n is an integer between 2 and 6 inclusive;
- and x is an integer between 3 and 26 inclusive;
- (b) applying a coating of the emulsion onto a first electrode material supported by a first substrate;
- (c) drying the coating by permitting the aqueous carrier medium to evaporate;
- and
- (d) laminating onto the dried coating a second electrode material supported by a second substrate.
