Abstract

ABSTRACT In this study, polymer network is prepared by broadband reflective cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) film with washing out method. By the method of photoinduced molecular diffusion, the CLC film is prepared by adding different concentrations of ultraviolet (UV) absorption dyes into the LC system and irradiated with a series of UV light intensities for different times. The selective reflection property and broadband reflection memory effect of the polymer network are proved, and the response mechanism is given. By refilling the polymer network with different LCs, reflective bands with different central wavelengths and bandwidths can be obtained. It is confirmed that different fillers can recurrence the initial reflection bandwidth of CLCs in different degrees. These results may provide a new idea for total reflection CLC films.
