Qualitatively new polymer films consisting of photochromic spiropyran doped in the liquid crystal nemato-chiral matrix has been obtained using the technological process of the microencapsulation method improved by the authors. Studies have shown that by controlling the microencapsulation process, technological characteristics of polymer films affect their photosensitivity. Reducing the microcapsules size, increasing the films thickness and their stretching result in the increased photosensitivity. The technological method of microencapsulation is proposed by the authors as one of the directions to increase the photosensitivity of photochromic liquid crystal polymer films. Fig. 10, Ref. 15.
