“…When the polymerization is carried out under direct current (DC) field conditions, thus selecting one of the stable ferroelectric states, again the network follows the molecular orientation and stabilizes the selected state. This leads to an asymmetric electro-optical response and different response times for switching with opposite field polarity, [83] similar to the behavior described for weakly crosslinked ferroelectric elastomers. [84] …”

“…Composite materials made from a nematic liquid crystal and a cellulose based polymeric matrix (Godinho et al 1999) give rise to systems relevant for electro-optical applications exhibiting electrooptical properties similar to those observed in standard PDLC systems (Fergason 1985;Doane et al 1986;Doane 1990;Kitzerow 1994).…”

“…Electric or magnetic field can transform the LC orientational structure, this changes the macroscopic optical properties of PDLC films. For example, when the ordinary refractive index (n) of LC with positive dielectric constant is close to the refractive index of polymer (np), the electric field applied perpendicular to the film plane switches the PDLC film from the scattering state into the transparent one [1][2][3][4][5]. At present, there have been well investigated PDLC films containing the nematic droplets with the most common configurations: bipolar for strong tangential anchoring, radial for strong homeotropic anchoring [6][7][8] and axial for strong homeotropic or weak anchoring [9][10][11].…”
