Abstract There are numerous reports in the literature dealing with the electro-optical properties of PDLC with experiments designed to reduce the material's hysteresis. Most suggest strong interaction relationship between the liquid crystals and the polymeric materials. We present the approach of correlating the hysteresis behavior of the PDLC films with the interaction of surfactants at the material interface. Experimental results and structural model will be described.
