The current state of the study of different liquid crystalline (LC) systems doped with carbon
nanotubes (CNTs) is discussed. An attempt is endeavored to outline the state-of-the-art …

We study the effects of nanoparticles (NPs) on thermotropic nematic liquid crystals (LCs) in
relatively dilute NP–LC mixtures. We are interested in the fundamental generic mechanisms …

The Freedericksz transition threshold is investigated in a homogeneously aligned carbon
nanotube (CNT) doped liquid crystal (LC) planar cell. By neglecting the aggregate and …

The use of two-dimensional liquid crystals (2D LCs) made of carbon nanorods has become
increasingly popular in electronic, optical, and energy applications due to their unique …

Ceramics are brittle due in large part to the limited availability of energy dissipation
pathways when they are subjected to an impact load. The primary avenue for improving the …

We report on the concentration dependence of the dispersion of single walled carbon
nanotubes, SWCNTs, in a nanocomposite with a recently synthesized ferroelectric and …

Polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) which are fabricated through pyrolysis of preceramic
polymers have attracted increasing attention due to their versatility in structure architecture …
