Doina MĂNĂILĂ-MAXIMEAN1, Viorel CÎRCU2

Abstract. This short review paper presents some important aspects of liquid crystal and liquid crystal composites. Preparation methods of polymer dispersed liquid crystal films (PDLC), the obtained structure and their main application as light valve are shown. In the last decade, the field has experienced a sharp revitalization, due to nanodoping, which results in an improvement in work performance. Keywords: liquid crystal composites, crystals, nanoparticle doped composites; polymer dispersed liquid crystals, encapsulated liquid crystals
