Impact of Dispersion of Nanoscale Particles on the Properties of Nematic Liquid Crystals

This work reviews the recent progress made in last decade in understanding the role of dispersion of nanoparticles and quantum dots into host nematic liquid crystals. There are two important ingredients of this work: Even a minute concentration of these non-mesogenic materials in host matrix can hav...
