P‐94: Fast Response Time of Liquid Crystal using a Nanofiber and Polyimide Alignment Mixture

Abstract

We studied about the electro‐optical properties of nematic liquid crystal samples aligned with a nonofibers (NFs)‐polyimide (PI) mixtures. The sample coated with NFs‐PI mixture showed a faster falling time than the pure PI sample. The falling time of the sample coated with 1 wt% NFs was about 20% faster than the pure PI sample. The elastic constant and the order parameter of the NFs‐PI samples were also larger than the pure PI sample.
