Liquid crystals constitute a fascinating class of soft condensed matter characterized by the
counterintuitive combination of fluidity and long-range order. Today they are best known for …

The aim of present review article is to present a comprehensive and current overview of
scientific advancement in liquid crystal and carbon nanotube suspension. Particular …

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 …

The two-dimensional graphene-honeycomb structure can interact with the liquid crystal's
(LC) benzene rings through π–π electron stacking. This LC–graphene interaction gives rise …

It is demonstrated that interactions between nanoparticles and topological defects induce a
twist-grain boundary phase in a chiral liquid crystal. The occurrence of this phase, the …

In this paper, we investigate a commercial nematic liquid crystal (LC) mixture namely E7
dispersed with small concentrations of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The …

This study used polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and 4-cyano-4′-pentylbiphenyl (5CB) as
capping agents for batch and cyclic photochemical synthesis, respectively, to fabricate …

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have been shown to self-organise, and when
added as a guest to form a nanocomposite, their director couples with an organic liquid …

Composites were prepared by inserting Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs) in the
Nematic Liquid Crystal (NLC) to fasten the reorientation dynamics of the system under the …

This study aimed at progressing in the fundamental understanding of the lignin-assisted
microstructural stabilisation observed in solution-processed materials based on the polymer …
