Polymer-dispersed liquid crystal/layered double hydroxide nanocomposite: A new emerging optical application

摘要

This paper describes the preparation and characterization of polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC)/layered double hydroxides (LDHs) nanocomposites. In this study, Mg-Al LDH was applied as two-dimensional host material, with the unique properties of higher anionic exchange capacity (AEC) and higher aspect ratio. Preparation of nanomaterials with a uniform, higher crystalline and surface charge density could be performed by a hydrothermal method. SEM and particle diameter analysis measurement, successfully obtained affords smaller crystallites with a higher aspect ratio, having a very narrow distribution of crystallite size. The structure formula [Mg2Al(OH)(6)]NO(3)(.)1.2H(2)O were carried out by ICP-AES, EA and TGA.
