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 …

Heavy metals, such as lead ions, are regarded as the main environmental contaminants and
have a negative impact on human bodies, making detection technologies of lead ions …

Ammonia detection technologies are very important in environment monitoring. However,
most existing technologies are complex and expensive, which limit the useful range of real …

We have prepared the composites of a room temperature nematic liquid crystal namely 4-
(trans-4-n-hexylcyclohexyl) isothiocyanatobenzoate (6CHBT) and Cadmium Selenide …

The aim of this work is to investigate the effect of silica (SiO 2) nanoparticles (NPs) on optical
and dielectric properties of BBEA nematic liquid crystal (NLC). For optical analysis the …

Lead ions (Pb^ 2+) are one of the major environmental pollutants that are dangerous for
human health, thus the detection methods of Pb^ 2+ become very important as well …

This study presents a new method for detecting and monitoring heavy metal ions in water
samples. The method uses liquid crystal‐based optical sensors and a molecular probe …

Nanoparticles embedded in liquid crystals can trap mobile ions and decrease their
concentration. In this paper, we generalize the nanoparticles-based approach and, through …

We report experimental studies on the phase transitions and physical properties of colloidal
suspensions of BaTiO3 nanoparticles and two cyanobiphenyl liquid crystals (4-pentyl-4ʹ …

We report on experimental studies of the viscoelastic, magnetodielectric, and
magnetoviscosity properties of ferromagnetic liquid crystals (LCs) prepared by dispersing …
