Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立清華大學 === 化學工程研究所 === 84 === In the research, the polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) film was prepared and studied. Formulations used were a mixture of epoxy oligomer, acrylate oligomer and E63 liquid crystal. The UV/thermal stepwise curing procedure were used to produce PDLC film, and the electrooptical characteristics of film were discussed in different formulations ,including three different stochiometric ratios of epoxy oligomer/hardener, three different weights of liquid crystal. Then the film was subjected to various ambient temperatures to observe electro- optic changes. The UV and thermal curing condition s were determined by the studies of DSC, TGA, respectively, The phase separation degrees of liquid crystal droplets in PDLC film were discussed by DSC and the sizes of droplets were observed by SEM. Finally, the spectrophotometer was used to measure the transmittance of PDLC film in the presence of applied electric field in various temperatures. These suggest that a PDLC film can be used as a voltage and temperature sensing material.
