DISPERSIONS CONTAINING LIQUID CRYSTAL COMPATIBLE PARTICLES, PASTES PREPARED THEREFROM, AND PROCESSES FOR PRODUCTION OF BOTH

摘要

The invention aims at providing industrially suitable processes by which dispersions containing liquid crystal compatible particles and homogeneous pastes of liquid crystal compatible particle can be easily mass-produced. A process for the production of dispersions containing liquid crystal compatible particles which is characterized by mixing one or more kinds of liquid crystal molecules with a secondary alcohol represented by the general formula (1): (1) (wherein R1 and R2 may be the same or different and are each an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group, or R1 and R2 may be united to form a ring) and an organic solvent and adding a solution of one or more kinds of metal ions to the mixture under refluxing to conduct reaction.
