Anisotropic composite comprising a mixture of a polymeric network and an inorganic material
First Claim
1. An anisotropic composite comprising a mixture of a) an anisotropic oriented polymeric network with one or more binding moieties obtainable from a liquid crystalline monomer or a liquid crystalline mixture of monomers, at least one of the monomers comprising a polymerizable group selected from acrylate, epoxy, oxetane, vinyl ether, and thiolene, and b) an inorganic material, characterized in that the network has an order parameter S greater than 0.01 and that the inorganic material is a substantially water-insoluble inorganic salt, a free metal particle, or a mixture thereof.
