- Abstract
The dynamic characteristics of liquid crystal (LC) structures containing fullerenes C[sub 60] and C[sub 70] were studied, and the effect of fullerenes on the reorientation capacity of liquid crystal molecules was assessed. It is established that fullerenes C[sub 60] and C[sub 70] influence the operation time of polymer-dispersed LC cells containing photosensitive 2-cyclooctylamine-5-nitropyridine molecules. A possible mechanism of reorientation in the system is considered, and it is shown that fullerenes can provide for effective switching of the electrooptical response in such LC cells. Fullerenes have good prospects for use in orienting coatings of various types employed in the LC technology.
