In the glassy region of the LC, a very strong temperature dependence on the polymer storage modulus was found for EB-cured networks in the range of compositions 40–60 weight.-% of LC. Above the LC glass transition temperature (T g), the LC behaves like a plasticizing agent. Below T g of the LC, the LC reinforces the polymer. In the case of the UV-cured system, the effect of plasticizing of the LC remains dominant from −100 to +100°C.enElectron beamglass transition temperatureliquid crystalmechanical propertiespolymerultravioletArticle
