Abstract
Combination of ferroelectric nano – powder and anisotropic liquid crystalline gives rise to exceptional physical properties unknown for solid state materials. The outstanding properties of ferroelectric doped liquid crystal being their macroscopic dipole, the preparation must assume the uniform alignment of the mesogen. By selecting suitable liquid crystals, phase structure and chemistry of macromolecular structure, these physical properties can be optimized for special applications like optical, electrical etc. In this paper, dispersed low mass nano – powder in liquid crystal is studied by various techniques viz. Polarizing Microscopy Studies (PMS), Data Thermal Analysis (DTA), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy, Ultraviolet Visible (UV) Spectroscopy.
