This work presents a new method for determining morphology of polymer
dispersed liquid crystals based on the approach of Mueller matrices. The
method allows monitoring separately both liquid crystal and polymer composite
components.
Keywords: PDLC, morphology, liquid crystal,
Mueller matrix.

Анотація. У даній роботі запропоновано
новий метод для визначення морфології
рідких кристалів диспергованих у полімері.
Метод базується на формалізмі матриць
Джонса і дозволяє окреме дослідження рідких
кристалів і компонент полімерного композиту. |
