摘要: Single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT), dispersed in a nematic liquid crystal, exhibit orientational order due to the influence of crystal molecules. The direction this order, and associated material properties, can be altered by application an electric field, allowing for controlled switches. We have experimentally investigated reorientation dynamics as function temperature find two characteristic timescales. short timescale is with texture so induced disruption conducting nanotube percolation network. longer nanotubes.
