摘要
Dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis is performed on a polymer-stabilized liquid crystal (PSLC) monodomain in the presence of an AC electric field. The twist elasticity and viscosity of the PSLC are determined. Compared with the nematic solvent (5CB), both the elasticity and the viscosity of the PSLC show substantial increases, reflecting the anchoring effect of the polymeric gel network. Time-resolved DLS measurements during the cure reaction yield information on the kinetics of network formation.
