Abstract:Polymer-liquid crystals (PLC) is a common material for smart windows. However, PLC smart windows usually require high driving voltage to maintain transparency. In this work, we synthesized a novel PLC smart film by doping multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) into a reverse-mode polymer network liquid crystal (R-PNLC). It was found that doping MWCNT could effectively reduce the threshold voltage (V
th) of R-PNLC from 19.0V to 8.4V. Due to co-orientation between MWCNT and LC molecules, the doped… Show more
