In Situ and Ex Situ Syntheses of Magnetic Liquid Crystalline Materials: A Comparison

Magnetic hybrid liquid crystalline composites have been obtained either by thermal decomposition of a cobalt precursor in a solution containing a liquid crystal polymer or by dispersing preformed cobalt nanorods in a liquid crystal polymer matrix. The final materials are all mesomorphous and ferroma...
