摘要: The impact of the surface–functionalised CdSe nanoparticles on various phase transitions two liquid crystals, 8CB and CE8, has been examined by means high-resolution calorimetry. addition results in suppression change heat capacity anomalies. In contrast to silica aerosils do not form a rigid network. As consequence, impurities resembles so called floppy regime, which exists at low concentrations mixtures.
