Elastic constants, viscosity and response time in nematic liquid crystals doped with ferroelectric nanoparticles

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 dielectric and elastic constants, response time, and viscosity of the suspensions were analyzed experimentally and com...
