Figure 5. Polymer-stabilized chiral nematic microbeads.

Figure 5

The chiral nematic order, provided by doping with 2-(S), is mostly preserved after polymerization and the microspheres do not deform after the carrier solution has evaporated. (a) Reflected light under crossed polarizers. (b) Reflected right-handed circular polarized light. (c) Transmitted light under crossed polarizers. (d) Transmitted light under parallel polarizers.
