摘要: Uniform homeotropic and homogeneous alignment of liquid crystals (LCs) is facilely achieved by dispersing Ni nanoparticles (Ni NPs) into the LCs. The mode depends on morphology NPs. mechanism NP-induced LC elucidated clearly, indicating that perfect orientation arises from adsorption NPs substrate.
