The production of patterned photonic films on a large scale remains a challenge. Here, we report on a new class of photonic materials that are based on oxetane liquid crystals (LCs). Patterned reflective coatings can be produced from these materials on flexible substrates by using flexographic printing. This industrially relevant process allows for upscaling in future applications. Furthermore, the oxetane LCs used do not require an inert atmosphere for photopolymerization, unlike previously des ...[more]
