Journal ArticleDOI
Randomly constrained orientational order in porous glass.
Germano S. Iannacchione,Germano S. Iannacchione,Gregory P. Crawford,Gregory P. Crawford,Slobodan Zumer,Slobodan Zumer,JW Doane,JW Doane,Daniele Finotello,Daniele Finotello +9 more
TL;DR: These findings are explained by a Landau type of model where the liquid crystal is confined to independent pore segments, suggesting that the glassylike orientational order is to a large extent locally determined.

Liquid crystal display material comprising a liquid crystal dispersion in a thermoplastic resin
TL;DR: In this article, the phase separation of a homogeneous solution of liquid crystal and thermoplastic resins is used to create in situ microdroplets of liquid crystals within a set transparent resin matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deuterium NMR of polymer dispersed liquid crystals.
TL;DR: In this paper, deuterium NMR was used to study submicrometer-size droplets of monomeric liquid crystals dispersed in a solid polymer matrix, and it was found that the line shape of the spectra depends on several factors which include self-diffusion, size, shape of droplets, and type of anchoring on the droplet walls.

Low loss liquid crystal modulator for coloring and shaping a light beam
Robert Blinc,J. William Doane,Bojan Marin,Igor Dipl Ing Musevic,Janez Pirs,Silva Pirs,Slobodan Zumer,Samo Dipl Ing Kopac +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a low-loss liquid crystal modulator for coloring and shaping a light beam (IB) was proposed, where liquid crystal light modulators (2B, 2G, 2R) provide continuous variation in color and intensity output by controlled scattering.
Patent
Method of making a ferroelectric liquid crystal cell including a cooling step
Janez Pirs,Robert Blinc,Slobodan Zumer,Igor Dipl Ing Musevic,Bojan Marin,Silva Pirs,Joseph W. Doane +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an oriented ferroelectric liquid crystal in the chiral smectic C phase with the normal to bounding plates of a cell is interspersed with polymer which stabilizes and freezes the arrangement of the liquid crystal.
