In this paper, we present the phase behavior and electro‐optical Kerr effect of the optically isotropic liquid crystal composites, which require no surface treatment for device fabrication. Anomalously large Kerr constant, more than 10 −8 mV −2 and fast response, less than sub‐milli‐second were observed at a room temperature.
