In recent years the design of chemical structures of liquid‐crystalline materials has
developed rapidly, and in many cases changed radically. Since Reinitzer's days, liquid …

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 authors report the expansion of the temperature range of cholesteric blue phases by
do** nanoparticles. When spherical gold nanoparticles with a mean diameter of 3.7 nm …

Featured Application Nanomaterial-doped liquid crystals. Abstract The research field of
liquid crystals and their applications is recently changing from being largely focused on …

In this study, we describe optical detection of antibody-conjugated nanoparticles bound to
surgically resected human pancreatic cancer tissue. Gold nanoparticles stabilized by …

We present results of the electro-optical effect in 90 twisted nematic cells of pristine and
doped liquid crystals under an applied dc voltage. The doped cells were fabricated with a …

Nanoparticles are being widely investigated for a range of applications due to their unique
physical properties. For example, silver nanoparticles are used in commercial products for …

In the framework of molecular mean-field theory we study the effect of nanoparticles
embedded in nematic liquid crystals on the orientational ordering and nematic–isotropic …

Liquid crystal (LC) nanoscience has been witnessing a paradigm shift towards the
dispersion of Cadmium (Cd) based quantum dots (QDs) into LCs to enhance their electro …

This letter reports that adding nanoparticles in the negative dielectric anisotropic liquid
crystal (LC) cell can exhibit the properties of vertical alignment without using alignment …
