Study of nanoparticle - liquid crystal dispersions using optical microscopy and solid-state NMR

This Thesis presents the synthesis of a new family of liquid crystal (LC)-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for a rationalized miscibility and assembly in liquid crystal matrices.A new protocol based on the thiol-for-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) ligand exchange reaction was developed to prepare 4-5...
