NOVELTY - Preparing polymer-dispersed liquid crystals (PDLC) film comprises (i) mixing a liquid crystal and graphene nanoparticles to obtain the first solution, (ii) adding citric acid, 1,8-octanediol, 1,2-propanediol transferring to the round-bottom flask, introducing nitrogen atmosphere, stirring the molten reaction mixture to obtain a specific molecular weight of prepolymer, (iii) dissolving the prepolymer of step (ii) with absolute ethanol, stirring to obtain a second solution, (iv) mixing the first solution and the second solution, stirring, carrying out polymerization reaction. USE - The method is useful for preparing polymer-dispersed liquid crystals(PDLC) film (claimed). ADVANTAGE - The method changes the dielectric property of polymer matrix, enhances the reaction rate of the PDLC and reduces the driving voltage of the PDLC. The size and the thickness of the PDLC film is adjustable.
