Abstract

In this work, we report the results of dielectric and electro-optical properties as a function of temperature for both pure liquid crystal matrix and polymer-stabilized liquid crystal (PSLC). The threshold and saturation voltages have been determined from transmission–voltage curves. We have studied the polymer domains formation in PSLC with variation of concentration of polymer in liquid crystal matrix. It is observed that the dielectric anisotropy of PSLC is significantly influenced by the polar order present in the polymer domains environment. A delicate interplay between the orientational order of liquid crystal and polymeric domains determines the molecular orientations of PSLC with respect to the director of the LC system.
