Like smart glass, the functionality of smart film relies on polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) technology. This film contains liquid crystal droplets that are embedded within a polymer layer.

These lenses contain liquid crystals that change their optical properties in response to heat. In this case, the frames of the glasses has a small circuit that heats the lenses up to 36.5 °C (97. ...

The emergence of liquid crystal ... liquid crystals, which can alter their helical pitch, and thus their reflected color, in response to external stimuli. By spraying the coating onto an elastic ...

Abstract: In this article, a new optical fiber humidity sensor based on the iridescent chiral-oriented cellulose nanocrystals ... (UV-vis). The CP films exhibited uniform structural color of the ...

They eventually settled on a unique type of polymer fiber; a material known as liquid crystal elastomer (LCE). Liquid crystals are made up of a series of slightly crosslinked molecules that can ...

The evaporation process created a flexible arrangement of crystals that could then be applied over a white ethyl cellulose sheet to create a bi-layered iridescent film. The Cambridge researchers ...
