Improvement of the relaxation time and the order parameter of nematic liquid crystal using a hybrid alignment mixture of carbon nanotube and polyimide

Journal Article Lee, Hyojin ; Yang, Seungbin ; Lee, Ji-Hoon ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We examined the electrooptical properties of a nematic liquid crystal (LC) sample whose substrates were coated with a mixture of carbon nanotube (CNT) and polyimide (PI). The relaxation time of the sample coated with 1.5 wt. % CNT mixture was about 35% reduced compared to the pure polyimide sample. The elastic constant and the order parameter of the CNT-mixture sample were increased and the fast relaxation of LC could be approximated to the mean-field theory. We found the CNT-mixed polyimide formed more smooth surface than the pure PI from atomic force microscopy images, indicating the increased order parameter is related to themore »« less

On the Origin of the "Giant" Electroclinic Effect in a "De Vries"-Type Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal Material for Chirality Sensing Applications

Journal Article Kapernaum, N ; Walba, D ; Korblova, E ; ... - ChemPhysChem

W415 is a chiral smectic compound with a remarkably weak temperature dependence of its giant electroclinic effect in the liquid crystalline smectic A* phase. Furthermore it possesses a high spontaneous polarization in the smectic C* phase. The origin of this striking electroclinic effect is the co-occurrence of a de Vries-type ordering with a weak first-order tilting transition (see the synchroton X-ray scattering profiles).

Photorefractivity in nematic liquid crystals doped with a conjugated polymer: Mechanisms for enhanced charge transport

Journal Article Wiederrecht, G P ; Niemczyk, M P ; Svec, W A ; ... - Chemistry of Materials

New organic materials that exhibit photorefractive effects are of wide interest for potential optical signal processing applications. The authors report on a photorefractive nematic liquid crystal composite containing the conjugated polymer poly(2,5-bis(2{prime}-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene), BEH-PPV that exhibits a novel fringe spacing dependent inversion of the polarity of the space-charge field due to competition between the ionic diffusion and charge drift transport mechanisms. A eutectic mixture of 35% (wt %) 4{prime}-(n-octyloxy)-4-cyanobiphenyl, 8OCB, and 65% 4{prime}(n-pentyl)-4-cyanobiphenyl, 5CB, was doped with 10{sup {minus}5} M BEH-PPV (200 kD by GPC), as the electron donor. The molecular weight of the BEH-PPV polymer implies that 500 repeat unitsmore »« less
