In this article, we report experimental studies on the effect of gold nanoparticle dispersion in a cholesteric liquid crystal matrix. Besides deeply affecting liquid crystal structural order upon inducing phase transition toward unexpected smectic-like phases, the presence of nanoparticles causes important changes in the liquid crystal electric properties, increasing liquid crystal conductivity and influencing ions diffusion.

Abstract
In this article, we report experimental studies on the effect of gold nanoparticle dispersion in a cholesteric liquid crystal matrix. Besides deeply affecting liquid crystal structural order upon inducing phase transition toward unexpected smectic-like phases, the presence of nanoparticles causes important changes in the liquid crystal electric properties, increasing liquid crystal conductivity and influencing ions diffusion.File in questo prodotto:
