DOI: 10.1103/physreve.106.044704
Abstract: Molecular interactions between liquid crystals (LCs) and reactive mesogens (RMs) at temperatures across the phase transition regions were comprehensively studied during photopolymerization-induced phase separation (PPIPS) beginning with raw mixtures until the formation of polymer network… read more here.
