The technique of dispersing nanomaterials into liquid crystal (LC) matrix to improve their
various physical parameters appears to be undergoing a paradigm change towards a more …

The present review discusses selected compounds based on polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs); mainly those containing naphthalene, anthracene, fluorene, pyrene …

Discotic (disk-shaped) molecules or molecular aggregates may form, within a certain
temperature range, partially ordered phases, known as discotic liquid crystals, which have …

We report the induction of thermally stable vertical alignment of nematic liquid crystal, 4-
cyano-4′-pentylbiphenyl (5CB), in a planar anchored cell by do** with eco-friendly …

We demonstrate here the striking effect of organo-soluble carbon dots (CDs, diameter∼ 7-8
nm) on the tunability of ionic relaxation and conductivity of the host, planar anchored …

Here, we demonstrate the effect of dispersing organosoluble carbon dots (CDs,∼ 7–8 nm)
on tuning the molecular alignment, dielectric and electrical properties of smectic A (SmA) …

We investigated the impact of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) of sizes∼ 2–5 nm in a room
temperature tri-component fluorinated antiferroelectric liquid crystal (AFLC) mixture. The …

Tailoring, fine-tuning, and controlling the luminescent behavior and the associated photo-
physical properties of fluorophores have been the subject of contemporary research. Over …

Discotic liquid crystals (DLCs) are one-dimensional organic semiconducting materials and
represent new low cost, rejuvenating materials in optoelectronics. The development of novel …
