Abstract Liquid Crystals (LCs) are soft materials lying in the midway between solids and
liquids which have enjoyed considerable success due to their tremendous display and non …

The presence of ions in liquid crystals is one of the grand challenges that hinder the
application of liquid crystals in various devices, which include advanced 3-D and flexible …

In the pursuit of novel charge transporting materials, composite systems have always proved
to be a promising option. While it seems cumbersome and ponderous to molecularly …

Nanocolloids comprising harvested ferroelectric LiNbO3 nanoparticles (≈ 25 nm) and
ferroelectric liquid crystals were prepared and investigated. The impact of the amount of …

The memory behavior in liquid crystals (LCs), although rarely observed, has made very
significant headway over the past three decades since their discovery in nematic type LCs. It …

Soy protein (and associated carbohydrate)(SOY) is graft copolymerized with poly (methyl
methacrylate)(PMMA) to synthesize novel low cost dielectric materials for multifunctional …

In this study, we have evaluated the optoelectronic and piezoelectric properties of doped
PVDF. The electronic structures and the linear and non-linear optical properties of ZrO2 …

A unique cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) liquid crystal (LC) biosensor, based on the disruption
of orientation in LCs, is developed for cholesterol detection. A self-assembled monolayer …

We present a low voltage driven electro-optical memory device fabricated by dispersing
nano-sized nickel oxide (nNiO) composed of short length nanorods into a ferroelectric liquid …

This study focuses on the ionic contribution by a chiral dopant added into a nematic host for
preparing cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs). Chiral structures were designated by …
