| Abstract | Holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystals (H-PDLCs) pertain to one type of intriguing switchable electro-optical device, and there is a constant need to quantitatively understand the photopolymerization kinetics and gelation process during the formation of H-PDLCs for the purpose of improving the diffraction efficiency and driving voltage. Herein, we quantitatively investigate the effect of the photoinitibitor composed of 3,3′-carbonylbis(7-diethylaminocoumarin) (KCD) and N-phenylglycine (NPG), with initiation and inhibition functions simultaneously generated under monochromatic illumination, on the formation of H-PDLCs. The outcomes reveal that an augmentation of KCD loading from 0.3 × 10−3 to 1.4 × 10−3 mol L−1 dramatically promotes the photopolymerization rate and monomer conversion. Reversely, a further increase in KCD content drastically depresses photopolymerization. The numerical deduction shows that the kinetics complies with the classical photopolymerization kinetics characteristics in the full range of the KCD content. Counterintuitively, the gelation time almost keeps constant when the KCD content is less than 1.8 × 10−3 mol L−1, and then is able to grow by more than 4 times when the KCD loading further increases. Ketyl radical inhibition, which subsequently results in shortened weight-average chain lengths and increased gel point conversions, is believed to account for the kinetics and exceptional gelation behaviors. H-PDLCs with a scaffolding morphology are formed, and with an augmentation of the KCD content, the segregation degree and diffraction efficiency significantly improve from zero to 64% and 78 ± 11%, respectively, and then level off, allowing for the facile fabrication of glass-free colored 3D images; while the critical driving voltage gradually decreases from 8.9 ± 1.0 to 4.6 ± 0.7 V μm−1. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
