Polimer ile Kararlı Hale Gelen Mavi Faz Sıvı Kristallerine Polimer Yapıların Etkisi

Öz

Bu çalışmada polimer yapıların mavi sıvı kristaller üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Polimer ağ oluşumları sayesinde oda sıcaklığının da dâhil olduğu geniş bir sıcaklık aralığında mavi faz sıvı kristal örnekleri elde edilmiştir. Polimer ile kararlı hale getirilmiş her bir mavi faz sıvı kristal örneğin sözü edilen faz aralığı en az C’dir. Deneysel sonuçlar göstermektedir ki; sıvı kristal moleküller ile polimer ağ oluşum arasındaki etkileşim enerjisi, mavi faz sıvı kristallerin elektro-optik performanslarını etkilemektedir. Polimer ağın demirleme enerjisi arttıkça çalışma voltajı artmaktadır. Demirleme enerjisi yüksek olan örneklerin cevaplama süreleri hızlı, Kerr sabitleri ve histeresizi düşüktür. Ayrıca bütün örneklerin Kerr sabiti değerleri nitzobenzenin Kerr sabiti değerinden en az iki mertebe yüksektir.
