摘要: Dispersions of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in liquid crystals (LCs) have attracted attention due to their unique properties and possible applications photonics electronics. However, these are hard stabilize, the loading level equilibrium state LC hosts is small. A practical way monitor quality CNT incorporation such dispersions required. Here, we compare different methods for characterising CNT–LC composite materials.
