摘要:
A liquid-crystalline composition contains, as components, a liquid-crystalline mixture containing at least one compound having two polymerizable groups and at least one compound having only one polymerizable group, and optional further additives. The liquid crystalline composition can be used for printing or coating substrates, in electro-optical components, for counterfeiting-proof marking of articles and for the production of films or coatings which selectively reflect light in the wavelength range from 250 to 1300 nm.

摘要:
Sheet-like structures obtainable by thermal curing and having a crosslinked cholesteric liquid crystalline ordered structure are suitable, for example, for decorative coatings, for producing security marks, pigmentary particles, polarizers, color filters and IR reflectors.
摘要:
A process for preparing pigment particles of defined size and shape comprises treating a sheetlike structure having through openings of defined shape and size with a polymerizable substance or mixture of substances in such a way that the openings are filled, removing any solvent present, polymerizing the substance or substance mixture, and isolating the resulting pigment particles from the openings. The pigments are readily varied in size and shape by variation of the substrate parameters and are useful for the known pigment applications, especially coatings, paints and inks.
