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 presence of ions in liquid crystals is one of the grand challenges that hinder the
application of liquid crystals in various devices, which include advanced 3-D and flexible …

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 …

The electro-optic and dielectric properties of barium titanate, BaTiO 3, and nanoparticle (NP)
doped nematic and ferroelectric liquid crystal materials were examined with respect to …

We demonstrate a room temperature processed ferroelectric (FE) nonvolatile memory based
on a ZnO nanowire (NW) FET where the NW channel is coated with FE nanoparticles. A …

Electro-optical switching with low voltage, no hysteresis and fast response speed is
achieved in polymer-stabilized nanoparticle-enriched blue phase liquid crystals with a wide …

It is generally accepted that chemically synthesized nanoparticles lose their ferroelectricity
(spontaneous polarization) as the particles become smaller. In contrast, ball-milled …

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 …

Electro-optical switching with low voltage, free hysteresis and fast response speed is
achieved in a facile manner by dispersing a small amount of ferroelectric nanoparticles …

Nanoscale BaTi O 3 particles (≈ 10 nm) prepared by ball-milling a mixture of oleic acid and
heptane have been reported to have an electric polarization several times larger than that …
