title: Broadband reflection of polymer-stabilized chiral nematic liquid crystals induced by a chiral azobenzene compound.
abstract: A chiral nematic liquid crystal-photopolymerizable monomer-chiral azobenzene compound composite was prepared and then polymerized under UV irradiation. The reflection wavelength of the composite can be extended to cover the 1000-2400 nm range and also be adjusted to the visible light region by controlling the concentration of chiral compounds.
