Abstract

Polymer‐dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films were prepared by dual UV and heat curing from UV‐ and heat‐curable monomers. For PDLC films with a certain amount of the UV‐ and heat‐curable monomers, the mesh size (the size of LC domains) of the polymer network could be adjusted by adjusting the relative content of the two types of monomers, enabling the electro‐optical properties of the film to be optimised.
