Enhancement of Polymer Structural Ordering in Polymer-Stabilised Blue Phases for Improved Electro-Optical Properties

Polymer-stabilised blue phase (PSBP) could be employed in novel fast response optical and photonic devices. It is inferred that inside PSBPs, the polymers are selectively aggregated by location in −1/2 disclinations, which are defects coexisting with the blue phase as a periodic lattice, thereby ext...
