Abstract

Nanomaterials dispersed liquid crystals have introduced a new era for the liquid crystal (LC) based display devices and other technologies. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) due to their exceptional mechanical strength, high thermal and electrical conductivity have become significant for various applications in nanotechnology. Furthermore, in many research works, it has been established that liquid crystalline materials act as captivating host for the dispersion of CNTs which leads to spontaneous ordering of CNTs with high degree of alignment. Also, it has been investigated that the dispersion of CNTs to LCs influence and enhance the properties (electro-optical and dielectric properties) of liquid crystalline materials. In the present work, change in the thermodynamic characteristics of 6CHBT due to the dispersion of carboxylic group (–COOH) functionalized multi walled carbon nanotubes (a-MWCNTs) have been studied. Transition temperature, transition enthalpies and transition entropies have been determined for pure as well as a-MWCNTs dispersed 6CHBT samples.
