Liquid crystalline block copolymers as adaptive agents for compatibility between CdSe/ZnS quantum dots and low-molecular-weight liquid crystals

Liquid crystalline (LC) triblock copolymers were used either as (i) a nematic matrix, which can be loaded with 10 wt% of CdSe/ZnS QDs, or (ii) a compatibilizer, which allows more than 1 wt% of QDs to be introduced in low-molecular-weight cholesteric LCs.

Conductive Properties

The main aim of this work was the generation of novel smart materials, in this case thermo-responsive inorganic/organic meso/nanostructured hybrids based on different low molecular weight liquid crystals (LC) and conductive rutile TiO2 nanoparticles. LC as partially miscible with polystyrene (PS) was well-dispersed using amphiphilic poly (styrene-b-ethylene oxide) block copolymers (PS-b-PEO). Simultaneously, LC was used as surfactant for conductive rutile TiO2 nanoparticles.
