A number of the novel photochromic polyethylene (PE)-based liquid crystal composites were prepared and studied. The oriented stretched porous polyethylene films were used as the polymer matrices. Commercial liquid crystals doped with new photochromic compounds were introduced into PE films and photo-optical properties of the obtained composites were investigated. It was shown that a director of nematic liquid crystals is highly oriented along the stretching axis of PE films resulting in noticeable linear dichroism of the PE composite films. New approaches for reversible or irreversible image recording on PE LC composites by UV irradiation were demonstrated. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
