Relaxation Method Simulation of Confined Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystals in an External Field
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 March 2011
Abstract
Polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLC) are materials formed by nematic liquid crystals droplets with radii of a few hundred Å embedded in a polymer matrix. We discuss the use of relaxation methods for the study of the response of the director of a PDLC under the switching of an external electric field. We simulate the confining system by considering different boundary conditions at the droplet surface.
