Computer Simulations of Faceted Nanoparticles and Carbon Nanotubes in Liquid Crystals

The purpose of this research is to investigate the use of liquid crystals (LCs) to manipulate and organize faceted nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Computer simulations at different levels of detail are used to study these systems. Results from this project will be relevant for potential a...
