Technical Field

Background
With the development of photo-isomerisable chiral molecules, researchers have applied these molecules to the preparation of liquid crystal materials. Among them, cholesteric liquid crystals can selectively reflect light of different wavelengths due to their own helical structure. The wavelength of the corresponding light is determined by the pitch of the helical structure.
The technology of cholesteric liquid crystal formed by different methods is mature so far, and such liquid crystal can be liquid crystal molecules having chirality per se, or can be a supermolecular helical structure in which cholesteric phase is formed by inducing the liquid crystal molecules through a small amount of chiral molecules (namely chiral dopants). A photoisomerization group, such as azobenzene, cinnamic acid, spiropyran and the like, is added into the structure of the chiral dopant, and the change of the screw pitch is completed in a light irradiation mode. However, the system is greatly affected by light and ambient temperature, so that the fixing of cholesteric liquid crystals with different colors is difficult to achieve, and the system for changing the color by using the photo-isomerism characteristic is few, and most of color fixing still stays in the liquid crystal box.

Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme of the invention has the following advantages:
(1) the photo-isomerism chiral molecule has both photo-isomerism characteristic and chirality. Wherein the chiral molecules interact with the liquid crystal molecules such that the chiral molecules influence the alignment of the assembly. The molecules or groups with the photo-isomerism characteristic are subjected to cis-trans isomerism when being subjected to an ultraviolet/visible light source, so that the spatial structure of the molecules is influenced. The group with the photo-isomerism characteristic is combined with the chiral molecules, and the structures of the molecules are changed in the process of being illuminated by outside light, so that the degree of influence on the arrangement of liquid crystal molecules is different.
(2) The photo-isomerism liquid crystal film provided by the invention introduces molecules with double characteristics (chirality and photo-isomerism) into a liquid crystal system, liquid crystal monomers are self-assembled into a spiral structure, then the spiral structure is twisted to a certain degree through chiral molecules, the pitch of the whole system is changed, the structural color generated based on Bragg reflection (Bragg reflection) is changed due to the change of the pitch, namely the reflection colors of the prepared liquid crystal film are different, wherein oxygen inhibition plays a key role in photo-isomerism, time is provided for photo-isomerism, and the patterning of a color liquid crystal film is realized by using the competition of photo-isomerism and photo-induced polymerization for the first time.
(3) The photoinduced isomerism liquid crystal film is prepared by coating a liquid crystal mixture into the film in a wire rod scraping mode, wherein the liquid crystal mixture can be nematic liquid crystal serving as main liquid crystal, and photoinduced isomerism chiral molecules are doped into the nematic liquid crystal so as to be converted into cholesteric liquid crystal reflecting circularly polarized light. The color of the structural color of the obtained film is changed under the irradiation of ultraviolet light at different time, and the film can be firstly changed in color and then fixed due to oxygen inhibition, and the patterning mode can be directly applied to film application at room temperature. The method for changing the liquid crystal self-assembly structure through the external condition, namely the illumination not only gives full play to the instantaneity of the illumination and the advantages of no side effect, but also promotes the development of novel chiral materials.
(4) The preparation method of the photo-induced heterogeneous liquid crystal film is simple, convenient to operate and low in raw material consumption, and the prepared photo-induced heterogeneous liquid crystal film is stable in performance.

As can be seen from fig. 1, as the illumination time increases, the reflection wavelength corresponding to the thin film is continuously red-shifted, and the thin film has a photo-isomerism characteristic. FIG. 2 shows that the color of the film gradually red-shifts with the increase of the illumination time of the gradual film prepared under the condition of the liquid crystal mixture 1 and with different illumination time. FIG. 3 liquid crystal mixture 1 and chiral dopant 1 are mixed to prepare films (liquid crystal mixture 1g, chiral dopant 62mg) with different colors and different illumination time.
Test example 2
FIG. 4 shows the results of taking an image of the liquid crystal mixture 1 obtained in example 1 of the present invention by a polarization microscope. As can be seen from the figure, the liquid crystal mixture has a typical oily silk texture, which is a specific texture of cholesteric liquid crystal, and it can be proved that the original nematic liquid crystal has been changed into cholesteric liquid crystal through the induction of chiral dopant, and the cholesteric liquid crystal is uniformly displayed on the film.
Test example 3
FIG. 5 shows a photo-induced isomerism liquid crystal film prepared under the condition of liquid crystal mixture 1, wherein the characters are non-illuminated parts and the background is illuminated parts. The cholesteric liquid crystal film obtained by the blade coating mode has responsiveness to light due to the fact that the chiral dopant contains the photo-isomerism group, the film is placed in a constant temperature system of 80 ℃, and the film is sensitive to light response at a high temperature. Subsequently, the transparent film with the black characters is placed on the film in a parallel illumination atmosphere for 4s, and the obtained film can generate color differences due to illumination differences. Fig. 5 is a green colored film prepared using liquid crystal mixture 1, a transparent film with poem was placed over the film, and then light was applied to obtain a pattern in a green font with an orange background, and finally the obtained pattern was photocured. Thus, patterning of cholesteric liquid crystal films of different colors is achieved.
