Nanoparticles serving as a multifunctional and multiaddressable dopant to modify the
properties of liquid crystalline matrices are developed by combining cobalt ferrite
nanocrystals with organic ligands featuring a robust photosensitive unit and a source of
chirality from the natural pool. These nanoparticles provide a stable nanocomposite when
dispersed in achiral liquid crystals, giving rise to chiral supramolecular structures that can
respond to UV-light illumination, and, at the same time, the formed nanocomposite …
Nanoparticles serving as a multifunctional and multiaddressable dopant to modify the properties of liquid crystalline matrices are developed by combining cobalt ferrite nanocrystals with organic ligands featuring a robust photosensitive unit and a source of chirality from the natural pool. These nanoparticles provide a stable nanocomposite when dispersed in achiral liquid crystals, giving rise to chiral supramolecular structures that can respond to UV-light illumination, and, at the same time, the formed nanocomposite possesses strong magnetic response. We report on a nanocomposite that shows three additional functionalities (chirality and responsiveness to UV light and magnetic field) upon the introduction of a single dopant into achiral liquid crystals.
