Abstract
From the ethyl-cyanoethyl cellulose (E-CE)C/acrylic acid (AA) solution, the (E-CE)C/PAA composite can be prepared by polymerizing the AA with ultraviolet initiation. The (E-CE)C/PAA composite prepared from the cholesteric liquid crystalline solution shows the lamellar structure with a periodicity ranging from 400 to 600 nm. In the lamellation there is no preferential orientation direction for polymer chains. The PAA is dispersed between the lamellea with small strip-like domains and the PAA and (E-CE)C have been homogeneously mixed in the system.
