Ferronematics Based on Paramagnetic Nitroxide Radical Liquid Crystal

Ferronematics Based on Paramagnetic Nitroxide Radical Liquid Crystal

We have prepared novel ferronematics based on a paramagnetic liquid crystalline (LC) material. Our ferronematics can disperse a higher volume fraction of magnetic nanoparticles compared to classical ferronematics because paramagnetic nature of the host LC material prevents the aggregation of magneti...
