Negative dispersion of birefringence of smectic liquid crystal-polymer composite: dependence on the constituent
Abstract:
We investigated the dependence of the negative dispersion of birefringence of smectic liquid crystal-polymer composites on the constituent molecules and temperature. The dispersion of birefringence was significantly varied from positive dispersion to negative dispersion by the change of the relative fraction of the constituent monomers. For the temperature dependence of the dispersion, a composite with more fraction of monomers located at the inter-layer space showed a wider temperature range of the negative dispersion of birefringence.
