Tailor-designed polyphilic promotors for stabilizing dispersions of carbon nanotubes in liquid crystals.
We present a potent multifunctional molecular design concept for promoting the dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in thermotropic liquid crystals (LCs), making CNT-in-LC dispersions of unprecedented stability possible and broadening the scope of potential applications.
