On the Analogy between Electrolytes and Ion-Generating Nanomaterials in Liquid Crystals

Nanomaterials in liquid crystals are a hot topic of contemporary liquid crystal research. An understanding of the possible effects of nanodopants on the properties of liquid crystals is critical for the development of novel mesogenic materials with improved functionalities. This paper focuses on the...
