✦ Synopsis

Nematic liquid crystals (LC) were embedded in a highly structured gelatin film as the discrete phase in the form of droplets. Thereby, the gelatin matrix forces a preferred orientation of the LC molecules in the droplets, initiated by the interaction between the triple helices of gelatin and the LC at the interface protein/LC. This is explained on a molecular level by the formation of a supramolecular structure at the interface, which is a germ for the continued preferred orientation of the mesogenes inside the droplets.

Liquid crystalline epoxy resins can be used as a matrix to encapsulate low molecular weight liquid crystalline droplets to produce PDLC devices. The presence of the low mass liquid crystal decreases the rate of reaction of the resin, that also hardens in a mesomorphic structure for high concentratio

## Abstract The low surface energy and the great immiscibility of poly (dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) with liquid crystals (LCs) are used in the fabrication of holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystals (HPDLCs). By adding increasing amounts of PDMS, the extent of the phase separation between the pol
