Dielectric Properties of Dual-Frequency Reactive Mesogens before and after Photopolymerization
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dielectric properties of reactive mesogens before and after photopolymerization were investigated. Commercially available nematic reactive mesogens (RMS03-013C, Merck) were measured and found to be dual-frequency liquid crystals. The property arose from the δ-relaxation process that was caused by rotational fluctuations parallel to the molecule's long axis. After polymerization, the polymerized reactive mesogens still exhibited this dual-frequency property. The result was attributed to the β-relaxation process which arose from rotational fluctuations of localized parts of the main chain. The sign change of the dielectric anisotropy with increasing frequency after polymerization was opposite to the sign change before polymerization.

Reactive oligo(dimethylsiloxane) mesogens and their nanostructured thin films.
Oligo(dimethylsiloxane)-based reactive mesogens were prepared and shown to form room-temperature smectic phases which were 'frozen-in' by photopolymerization. Homeotropically aligned, nanostructured thin films were obtained by spincoating, and micropatterning was demonstrated. These hybrid reactive mesogens are suitable for the preparation of aligned nanostructured polymer thin films with poten...
متن کاملMultifunctional Optical Thin Films Fabricated by the Photopolymerization of Uniaxially Oriented Lyotropic Liquid Crystal Monomers for Electro-Optical Devices
A multifunctional optical thin film (MOTF) is fabricated by coating the newly synthesized perylene-based reactive mesogen (PBRM) and stabilized by the subsequent photopolymerization. Based on the spectroscopic results combined with morphological observations, it is found that nematic liquid crystal (NLC) is aligned parallel to the molecular long axis of PBRM not only due to the long-range physi...

Lead-free (Ba0.85Ca0.15)[(Zr0.1Ti0.9)]O3 (BCZT) piezoceramics were synthesized using solid-state ceramic processing. In order to improve the electrical properties CeO2 and CuO additives/dopants were used and two methods were employed to introduce theses oxides; one, in which 0.1 mol.% CeO2 was mixed with the raw materials and the composition was balanced for A-site substitution (BCCe0.1ZT) and ...
