抄録

The electrooptical effects of polydomain liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) swollen with low molecular weight liquid crystals (LMWLCs) have been investigated in detail. A well known LMWLC, 4-n-pentyl-4-cyanobiphenyl (5CB), is used as the solvent. The optical intensity of transmittance was measured as a function of voltage. The switching behavior was characterized by the voltage and time dependences of the transmittance on an instantaneous voltage switch. It is found that the threshold for the onset of the electrooptical effects is small (V∼1.0 V). The measured response time when switching on for the electrooptical effects is consistent with the response behavior of ordinary liquid crystals. However, the relaxation time when switching off shows a voltage independence and its value is about 4 times smaller than that of the electromechanical effect.
