摘要
With the use of optical polarization microscopy, the kinetics of phase separation during cooling of molten mixtures of a nematic low-molecular-mass liquid crystal and a liquid crystalline polymer is studied to produce polymer dispersed liquid crystals. The statistical drop-size distribution of a low-molecular-mass liquid crystal is described in the terms of equilibrium thermodynamics of irreversible processes. For a nematic polymer component of a mixture, the analysis of time dependences of the average diameter of drops of a low-molecular-mass liquid crystal makes it possible to reveal two stages in the kinetics of their growth and to describe this process according to the universal law of cluster growth. For a smectic polymer component, the Avrami equation is used to quantitatively describe the kinetics of growth of low-molecular-mass liquid-crystal drops.
