Bulk samples of polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs) containing polystyrene (PS) and a thermoelastic elastomer as polymer matrices, have been prepared by a thermally-induced phase separation method. Thermomechanical analysis measurements revealed that the PDLC containing the thermoplastic elastomer possessed rubber-like elasticity even in the mesomorphic temperature range of the LC while the PDLC based on PS showed plastic deformation during the measurement.
