Abstract
A liquid crystal-containing composition according to the present invention includes a cholesteric liquid crystal, a polymer, and particles having hydrophobic surfaces. The particles having hydrophobic surfaces are at the interface between the region containing the cholesteric liquid crystal and the region containing the polymer.
Claims14
A liquid crystal-containing composition comprising:
- a cholesteric liquid crystal;
- a polymer, wherein the polymer encloses the cholesteric liquid crystal;
- and
- particles having hydrophobic surfaces, wherein the particles are at an interface between the cholesteric liquid crystal and the polymer.
A method of producing a liquid crystal-containing composition comprising adding particles having hydrophobic surfaces to a mixture comprising a polymer or monomer units of the polymer and a cholesteric liquid crystal, such that the polymer encloses the cholesteric liquid crystal and the particles are at an interface between the cholesteric liquid crystal and the polymer.
