Polymer‐dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films were prepared using electron beam radiation by a polymerization‐induced phase separation process. The composite material was obtained from a blend including a polyester acrylate and the nematic liquid crystal mixture E7. The electro‐optic properties of the PDLC films were investigated as a function of film thickness. The obtained transmission vs. voltage curves exhibit a good reproducibility, low threshold voltages, and a high transmission in the on state. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
