Properties and Application of Nanostructure in Liquid Crystals: Review

Liquid crystal materials are a suitable environment for the synthesis of nanostructures of uniform size and shape due to their order and yet mobility at the molecular level. Dense liquid crystal phases allow nanoparticles to self-assemble, resulting in larger organized nanostructures. Although both...

Summary:Liquid crystal materials are a suitable environment for the synthesis of nanostructures of uniform size and shape due to their order and yet mobility at the molecular level. Dense liquid crystal phases allow nanoparticles to self-assemble, resulting in larger organized nanostructures. Although both types of lyotropic liquid crystal and thermotropic liquid crystal have been used for the synthesis and self-assembly of nanoparticles, the use of lyotropic liquid crystal types is more in the synthesis of nanoparticles, while the use of thermotropic liquid crystal phases is mainly related to the self-assembly of nanoparticles.
