聚合物分散液晶(PDLC)是一種液晶以微滴形狀分散在連續(xù)聚合物基體中的復合薄膜。在零場條件下,液晶分子無規(guī)取向,由于液晶微滴與聚合物基體之間的折射率不同,薄膜呈現不透明狀態(tài)。當施加外部電場時,液晶分子重新排列與電場力方向一致,此時聚合物與液晶微滴折射率相匹配,薄膜呈現透明狀態(tài)。與傳統的電致變色和熱致變色智能窗相比,PDLC在光學領域具有廣闊的應用前景。然而,它們的應用受到一些缺點的限制,比如高驅動電壓、低對比度和熱穩(wěn)定性差,尤其是高工作電壓,是研究人員一直在努力解決的問題。
近日,北京科技大學楊槐/于美娜團隊等人通過將高清亮點液晶單體引入PDLC體系中,開發(fā)設計了一種可在較高溫度下仍保持著低電壓、高對比度和快速響應的PDLC薄膜。該薄膜在智能顯示領域和智能窗領域有著良好的應用前景。相關工作以“An intelligent electrochromic film with passive radiative cooling and synergistic solar light control capabilities for display and smart windows”為題發(fā)表于Journal of materials chemistry A, 北京科技大學/北京大學楊槐教授、于美娜副研究員、王茜特聘副研究員為共同通訊作者,北京科技大學新材料技術研究院博士生張作為為文章第一作者。
