摘要

PCT No. PCT/GB95/02201 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 7, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 7, 1997 PCT Filed Sep. 18, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/12209 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 25, 1996A method for the loading and alignment of liquid crystal polymers in electro-optic and electro-active devices by in-situ polymerization between substrates of liquid crystal monomers. The molecular weight of the resulting liquid crystal polymer is controlled by the addition of a chain transfer reagent, for example, a thiol-containing compound which may be a liquid crystal material.
