The dispersion of ferroelectric nanomaterials in liquid crystals has recently emerged as a
promising way for the design of advanced and tunable electro-optical materials. The goal of …

We report on the role of ferroelectricity on the physical and electro-optic parameters in
suspensions of nanoparticles in cyclohexane based, fluorinated nematic liquid crystals. The …

Several experiments have reported that ferroelectric nanoparticles have drastic effects on
nematic liquid crystals—increasing the isotropic-nematic transition temperature by about 5 …

Liquid crystals (LCs) are made of molecules and layers of small nm sizes, hence by their
nature they fall in the categories of nanoscale science, engineering, and technology. Their …

This chapter introduces the basic principles of physics of magnetic and ferroelectric
nanoparticles suspensions in thermotropic liquid crystals (LCs). It also covers the main …

We present a theoretical model in the framework of elastic continuum theory to describe the
behaviour of a liquid crystalline host doped with ferroelectric nanoparticles acting as a liquid …

Core-shell building blocks have been found useful in recent years as inclusions, in the
search for metamaterials with tailored properties. Either the core or the shell of these …

The influence of the size of harvested barium titanate nanoparticles on the properties of
ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) nanocolloids was investigated by electro-optical and …

The aim of this paper is to review and demonstrate a recent progress in liquid-crystal optical
fibers and their applications in photonics. The review starts from early works with classical …
