Abstract
- Photo-polymer networks are used to stabilize liquid crystal director orientations.
- Chiral smectic phases of the right pitch Bragg reflect visible light.
- Networks decrease the pitch of the chiral phase in which they are formed.
- Polymer networks are highly insensitive to large-scale temperature changes.
