  text: <jats:p>The presence of a polymer network and/or the addition of ferroelectric
    nanoparticles to a nematic liquid crystal are found to lower transition temperatures
    and birefringence, which indicates reduced orientational order. In addition, the
    electro-optic switching voltage is considerably increased when a polymer network
    is formed by in situ polymerization in the nematic state. However, the resulting
    polymer network liquid crystal switches at similar voltages as the neat liquid
    crystal when polymerization is performed at an elevated temperature in the isotropic
    state. When nanoparticle dispersions are polymerized at an applied DC voltage,
    the transition temperatures and switching voltages are reduced, yet they are larger
    than those observed for polymer network liquid crystals without nanoparticles
    polymerized in the isotropic phase.</jats:p>
