Liquid crystals are finding increasing applications in a wide variety of fields including liquid-
crystal display technology, materials science, bioscience, etc., apart from acting as prototype …

Combinations of liquid crystals and materials with unique features as well as properties at
the nanoscale are reviewed. Particular attention is paid to recent developments, ie, since …

Nanoparticles (NPs) have recently attracted significant attention from the materials science
community due to their promise to play an important role in developing new technologies …

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 …

Sputter deposition of atoms onto liquid substrates aims at producing colloidal dispersions of
small monodisperse ultrapure nanoparticles (NPs). Since sputtering onto liquids combines …

In this paper, rare earth oxide CeO2 nanoparticle-doped polymer dispersed liquid crystal
(PDLC) films were prepared by the polymerisation induced phase separation (PIPS) …

Pt-based catalysts are the most efficient catalysts for low-temperature fuel cells. However,
commercialization is impeded by prohibitively high costs and scarcity. One of the most …

We report the effect of dispersion of functionalized and non-functionalized multi walled
carbon nanotubes on the thermodynamic, dielectric, optical and electro-optical properties of …

We present the advancement in the research of the dispersion of gold nanoparticles (GNPs)
in thermotropic calamitic liquid crystals. The formation/behavior of surface plasmon …

Herein, polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs) based smart windows are proposed
using a host thiol-ene-based UV curable photopolymer and nematic liquid crystals (E7). The …
