Electrooptic and Dielectric Studies in Cadmium Sulphide Nanorods/Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal Mixtures by Praveen Malik, Ashok Chaudhary, Rohit Mehra, K. K. Raina

“…Doping of CdS nanorods increases the spontaneous polarization and response time, which due to large dipole-dipole interaction and increase in anchoring energies exists between nanorods and FLC molecules. Dielectric measurements revealed a decrease (~40% for 0.3% CdS in FLC) in permittivity and dielectric strength in doped sample cell than pure FLC mixture. …”

Influence of the “wetting–drying” compaction on the adsorptive characteristics of nanosilica A-300 by Tatiana V Krupskaya, Volodymyr V Turov, Valentina M Barvinchenko, Katerina O Filatova, Lyudmila A Suvorova, Gianluca Iraci, Mykola T Kartel

“…It was shown that if the bulk density changes from 0.05 to 0.25 g/ml, the protein adsorptive capacity of the nanosilica decreases no more than by 30%, which, apparently, is connected with the decrease of the part of the surface, available for the protein molecules. Interfacial energy in relation to water increases from 37 to 52 mJ/m 2 if the bulk density increases and this is connected with the increase of the contribution from minor clusters (nanodrops) adsorbed on the surface water.…”
