Abstract
Phase transition temperatures of polycarbonate film consisting of micron-sized liquid crystalline droplets were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermo-optical analysis (TOA) methods. Both a decrease in (T g ) and (T m ) of the polycarbonate with an increase of liquid crystal (LC) content in the sample were observed. The decrease ofT g is related to the plastifying effect of a low molecular weight LC substance remaining soluble in the polycarbonate matrix. A fraction of the liquid crystal contained in the droplets was estimated on the basis of theT g decrease.
