The invention discloses a construction method of a
liquid crystal confinement space
assembly microarray and a
liquid crystal composite material prepared by the same, which are characterized in that
liquid crystal forms an ordered
assembly in confinement space, and the ordered
assembly is arranged into the
microarray in a two-dimensional plane. According to the invention, an
elastomer with a micro-cavity array structure is utilized to form an assembled micro-cavity, liquid
crystal materials are filled between liquid
crystal self-organizing structures, a consistent or gradient liquid
crystal assembly array is formed under the confinement condition, the
microstructure of the formed liquid crystal assembly is regulated and controlled through the structure and property of the cavity, the stripespacing of liquid crystals is regulated by adding
high polymer materials, and the liquid crystal self-organizing structures are fixed through
ultraviolet light
polymerization. According to the method, the liquid crystal assembly can be prepared and regulated on the
micron scale, the limitation of a macroscopic method on precise construction of a liquid
crystal structure is broken through, all units of the obtained assembly array are regular and consistent, and the method is suitable for production and application. The microcosmic optical structure of the liquid crystal assembly array has important values in application of
nonlinear optical devices and intelligent sensors.
