Research Abstract |
Microspheres with immobilized ferroelectric liquid crystalline segments were prepared, and the permeability control of the encapsulated core material was investigated under an external electric field. A ferroelectric liquid crystal monomer possessing both mesogenicity and chirality was effectively responded to an external electrical field. Permeation of the core material contained in the in the microspheres was enhanced under a feeble electric field.
