The adsorption rate of methyl red dyes on a polymer surface is studied and determined to be much faster than that on indium-tin-oxide-coated glass. Therefore, an optically switchable twist-nematic grating is fabricated using a dye-doped liquid crystal cell, with a glass substrate coated with a polymer relief grating.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
