comparative example 4
The comparative example provides a holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal material comprising the following components in percentage by weight:
the performance of the holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal materials provided in the above examples and comparative examples was tested as follows:
the holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal materials in the examples and the comparative examples are respectively put into brown glass bottles according to the proportion, a magnetic rotor is added into the bottles, stirring is started at the temperature of 40 ℃, stirring is carried out for 30min until the materials are uniform, and the holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal materials are obtained after cooling to room temperature.
Then, the glass box is filled under the light-proof state, and the material is slowly sucked into the glass box by utilizing the siphon effect until the glass box is fully filled, wherein the thickness of the cavity of the glass box is 8 mu m. The performance of glass boxes containing the holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal materials provided in the above examples and comparative examples, respectively, was tested.
Diffraction efficiency: the test was performed using a test light path provided on page 38 of the paper "study of holographic Polymer dispersed liquid Crystal (H-PDLC) gratings" by university of southward, where diffraction efficiency=diffraction intensity/incident light intensity×100%.
Haze test: haze was measured using a WGT-S transmittance/haze meter.
The performance test results of the holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal materials provided in the above examples and comparative examples are shown in table 1 below:
in comparative example 1, after the laser irradiation phase separation, liquid crystal particles were precipitated, and it was not possible to test the diffraction efficiency and haze because the liquid crystal could not form a nematic phase at room temperature.
From the above, the holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal material provided by the invention comprises the compound shown in the formula I, the compound shown in the formula II, the compound shown in the formula III and the holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal material of the compound shown in the formula IV, and the compound shown in the formula II and the compound shown in the formula III can provide high double refractive indexes, so that the holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal material has high diffraction efficiency, and the compound shown in the formula I can improve the solubility of each compound of the holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal material, so that phase change is not easy to occur, and the risk of low-temperature crystallization of liquid crystal can be reduced. In addition, the compound shown in the formula IV and the liquid crystal composition have proper intersolubility, so that the reaction rate in the polymerization reaction is just high, the reaction rate is not too high or too low, liquid crystal microdroplets are formed to have the right particle diameter, the liquid crystal composition with a specific structural formula is selected, and the holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal material prepared from the liquid crystal composition and the acrylic polymerizable monomer has excellent performance, so that the prepared volume holographic grating has high diffraction efficiency and low haze, can be switched between a holographic state and a transparent state, can meet the application requirements of the volume holographic optical waveguide, and has the diffraction efficiency of 65% -72% and the haze of 1.1% -1.5%.
In comparison with examples 1 to 5, if the liquid crystal composition contains only any two of the compound represented by formula I, the compound represented by formula II or the compound represented by formula III (comparative examples 1 to 3), the prepared holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal material has poor properties, and cannot be used for preparing a volume hologram grating (comparative example 1), or the prepared volume hologram grating has low diffraction efficiency (comparative examples 2 to 3).
Compared with the embodiment 1-embodiment 5, if the polymerizable monomer with other structural formulas is selected (comparative example 4), the prepared holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal material has poorer performance, and the prepared volume holographic grating has low diffraction efficiency and higher haze.
In summary, the holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal material prepared by designing the holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal material, selecting the liquid crystal composition with a specific structural formula and preparing the holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal material with the acrylate polymerizable monomer has excellent performance, so that the prepared volume holographic grating has high diffraction efficiency and low haze, can be switched between a holographic state and a transparent state, and can meet the application requirements of the volume holographic optical waveguide.
