Abstract
Polymer-stabilized cholesteric liquid crystal is one of the most coveted systems in the ever-expanding field of liquid crystal due to its wider potential application in smart windows, optical shutters, tunable lenses, etc. The dispersion of polymer into liquid crystal by introducing a small amount of chiral dopant prepared polymer-stabilized cholesteric liquid crystal. In this work, two samples of polymer- cholesteric liquid crystal were prepared. Surface treatment is applied on one composite while another sample is prepared without any treatment on the indium tin-oxide coated glass substrates. Frequency and temperature-dependent dielectric parameters are observed for both samples. The dielectric studies revealed that after surface treatment, the permittivity of the sample significantly increased. AC conductivity of the sample also increased. The photoluminescence spectra also show improvement in the intensity with the surface-treated sample.
