Embodiment 1

[0040] In this embodiment, the filling and self-assembly steps of the cellulose nanocrystal liquid crystal suspension or the mixed suspension of cellulose nanocrystal liquid crystal and dopant molecules in the microcavity array are as follows:

[0041] The fluorinated ether adopts the fluorinated ether HFE-7500 produced by 3M Company, and the completed silicone rubber with the microcavity array is placed on a glass slide A facing up; the fluorinated ether HFE-7500 (0.05 mL / cm 2 ) coated on the surface of the chip, spread evenly. Take the solution to be assembled, drop 10 μL of this part of the suspension with a concentration of about 8wt% on another glass slide B, and apply it evenly in a small area; peel off the silicone rubber from the glass slide A, face down quickly Cover the glass slide B coated with the suspension to be assembled, squeeze out excess air bubbles and liquid crystals, wait for the assembly to complete, and obtain a liquid crystal composite material with an...

Abstract

The invention discloses a construction method of a liquid crystal confinement space assembly microarray and a liquid crystal composite material prepared by the same, which are characterized in that liquid crystal forms an ordered assembly in confinement space, and the ordered assembly is arranged into the microarray in a two-dimensional plane. According to the invention, an elastomer with a micro-cavity array structure is utilized to form an assembled micro-cavity, liquid crystal materials are filled between liquid crystal self-organizing structures, a consistent or gradient liquid crystal assembly array is formed under the confinement condition, the microstructure of the formed liquid crystal assembly is regulated and controlled through the structure and property of the cavity, the stripespacing of liquid crystals is regulated by adding high polymer materials, and the liquid crystal self-organizing structures are fixed through ultraviolet light polymerization.

It belongs to the field of micro-nano materials and devices, and also belongs to the field of nonlinear devices in optical devices. Background technique [0002] Liquid crystal is a state of matter with both liquid fluidity and crystalline order. German physicist Otto Lehmann confirmed its existence through the phase change under a polarizing microscope during the heating of cholesteryl benzoate. Liquid crystals are classified according to their molecular arrangement and can be divided into nematic liquid crystals and smectic liquid crystals. The long axes of the liquid crystal molecules of the nematic liquid crystal are parallel to each other, the molecular arrangement is free, the center of gravity is distrib...
