Latest Patents
One of her latest patents is titled "Liquid crystal/polymer composite electrically controlled dimming films and preparation methods thereof." This invention includes a liquid crystal material, a polymer matrix, and two layers of conductive substrates. The polymer matrix is sandwiched between the conductive substrates, featuring a porous microstructure. The liquid crystal material is dispersed in the polymer matrix, forming liquid crystal microdroplets with vertically oriented polymer networks. This unique composite microstructure enhances the mechanical processing performance of the film and reduces the driving voltage, making it suitable for large area processing and production.
Another notable patent is the "Temperature-controlled dimming film with a function of shielding near-infrared light and preparation method thereof." This invention comprises a polymer network skeleton and liquid crystal molecules. The polymer network skeleton consists of a polymer-dispersed liquid crystal network structure and a polymer-stabilized liquid crystal network structure. The liquid crystal molecules are dispersed within this skeleton and exhibit a smectic (SmA)-cholesteric (N*) phase transition. The invention utilizes a stepwise polymerization method to enhance the bonding strength between substrates and improve the heat insulation performance of the dimming film.
