Fluorescence study of a field-induced director reorientation in a liquid crystalline polyacrylate.
The electric field-induced director reorientation is investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy and turbidimetry. The dynamics of this reorientation are studied as a function of temperature, applied voltage, and frequency.
