A chiral nematic liquid crystal-photopolymerizable monomer-chiral azobenzene compound composite was prepared and then polymerized under UV irradiation. The reflection wavelength of the composite can be extended to cover the 1000-2400 nm range and also be adjusted to the visible light region by controlling the concentration of chiral compounds.

We have developed a series of azobenzene liquid crystals (azo LC) compounds, both multicomponent as well as single component, that possess room temperature nematic and smectic phases. Some of these materials have a wide mesophase temperature range which m
