Color link : Ternary lyotropic cholesteric mixtures are formed by mixing small amounts of a chiral cholesteric dopant with nematic compounds both bearing photocrosslinkable groups and up to 35 wt % of a reactive solvent. The successful incorporation of rather inexpensive reactive solvent facilitates the technical application of these systems as organic effect pigments (see TEM) for automobiles and other purposes.
