Abstract

Ethyl-cyanoethyl cellulose [(E–CE)C]/poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) composite films were prepared by photopolymerizing acrylic acid (AA) in (E–CE)C/AA cholesteric liquid crystalline solutions. With the selection of suitable concentrations, (E–CE)C/PAA composite films showed vivid colors due to the selective reflection property of the cholesteric phase. It was found that the wavelength of reflection was a function of the concentration of (E-CE)C, and the reflectivity was increased with increasing thickness of the film. The selective reflection of the composite holds well upon heating at temperatures below 160°C. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 92: 213–217, 2004
