— We investigated the effect of monomer functionality on the electro‐optic performance of holographically formed polymer‐dispersed liquid crystals. Oligomers of functionality 2, 3, and 6 are mixed to yield oligomers of intermediate functionality. Reflection efficiency and critical field peaks are reported for an effective functionality of ∼4.5 SEM studies, allowing us to correlate these results to polymer morphology.
