研究成果
The study successfully demonstrated the control of polymer microstructure in epoxy-mercaptan polymer/LC composites, leading to electrically switchable optical transmittance. The optimal electro-optical performance was achieved with smaller polymer microspheres. This work provides insights into microstructure control and the development of smart films for various applications.
