摘要
A structured polymer was synthesized by surface initiated photopolymerization in the presence of a cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC). The templated helical polymer (traversing 2/3 the cell thickness) was backfilled with an opposite handedness, photoresponsive CLC mixture yielding a photo-induced, large contrast, hyper-reflective (R > 99%) CLC film.
