Abstract
Irreversible optical sensing of humidity by a doped cholesteric liquid crystal is achieved by using a thin film of nematic host E7 with a binaphthylorthosilicate ester as dopant (guest). The film changes its color from blue (to green to orange to red) to colorless when exposed to humidity as the dopant is hydrolyzed. This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2012Entities:
