Field controlled nematic-to-isotropic phase transition in liquid crystal-carbon nanotube composites

A nematic-to-isotropic transition has been observed in suspensions of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and a cyanobiphenyl-based liquid crystal (LC) confined within an indium tin oxide glass sandwich cell. Upon the application of electric field, CNTs rotate out of plane short-circuiting the electrodes and pr...
