Abstract

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.

Abstract

In the present work, the effects of polymer
structures on blue phase liquid crystals were carried out. Blue-phase liquid
crystal samples with wide temperature range including room temperature were
obtained by means of the polymer network formation. The temperature range of
each sample with polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal is at least C. The experimental results show that the
electro-optical performances of blue phase are influenced by the interaction
energy between the liquid crystal molecules and polymer network structure. As
the anchoring energy of polymer network increases, the operating voltage
increases. The response time of samples with high anchoring energy is faster
and the kerr constant and hysteresis of those are smaller. In addition, the
Kerr values of all samples are at least two orders of magnitude larger than
that of nitrobenzene.
