Reorientation of single walled carbon nanotubes in negative nematic liquid

Changes induced in liquid crystal (LC) properties by nanoparticle (NP) doping have attracted interest in the last decade. The anisotropic properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) make it interesting to study their reorientation in LC to verify the modifications induced in the electrooptic LC properties and the mutual influence in reorientation between LC and CNTs.
